I don't get why they can't talk about it. Do C&Ds come with a NDA too?

No. Even if they did, they could have said "we're not doing a Seinfeld parody anymore" which would have gone a lot better PRwise.

That's what makes how the devs are handling this baffling.

They've been horrible about communication since the Twitch ban a month ago. And they didn't even reveal anything about their plans to the press leading up to last night while they were promoting their return.

Just my opinion, but I wonder if the changes were their decision so they could own and monetize their "original" ip.

I'm guessing officially saying it's not a Seinfeld parody due to C&D would've destroyed viewership so they do these changes without hoping anyone would notice.

I watched it every now and then but with everyone saying it's completely different, I have no interest.

> without hoping anyone would notice

The changes aren't...subtle.
