Back in March NAS sent a cease-and-desist letter to Dueling Network for its similar user-made Yu-Gi-Oh! dueling setup, which had been around since 2011 and boasted more than four million users at its height. The culprit instead is likely Nihon Ad Systems (NAS), which manages many of the rights for the Yu-Gi-Oh! series for Konami. But that, according to some sleuthing from a NeoGAF user named HypnoDarkrai, isn't exactly the case. The easiest guess would be Konami, which has been making a name for itself for bizarro decisions for much of the past two years.

It's not even fully clear who actually called for the shutdown at this point. 'The people who ran DevPro and YGOPro, they weren't making money to begin with.' 'I don't understand why they would stop ,' he says in the video. (It's currently disabled on account of all the traffic.) To that end, he even created a Dropbox account specifically to host the working file. It is, after all, an open source program, and thus not so easily regulated as a product from a proper company or individual. The same, he maintains, will be true of YGoPro. acknowledges that accusations of piracy were probably the reason for the takedown, and he speaks at length about his memories of the legal action taken against Napster in the late '90s and how little it did to curb piracy of books and films. Even though YGOPro has been taking off of the main site, he shows in the video, it still works fine and (get this) there was even an update after the closure that introduced at least four new cards. But as YouTuber Randall ' MegaCapitalG' Jordan noted in a video from yesterday, there's a bit of civil disobedience going on behind the scenes in this case. Normally such cease-and-desist letters lead to full ceasing and desisting, as we saw earlier this year with the closure of the popular fan-maintained World of Warcraft server Nostalrius.
