Come up with your own idea instead of trying to ride the coattails of something that is already a huge hit. I'm sure they have plenty of ideas and projects to work on without having to give you a cut of it.

Fair comment except that cards against humanity is pretty much just riding the coattails of an already huge hit itself.

A lot of successful business partnerships can be described by "riding the coattails of a hit". If they're being straightforward and proposing a partnership, as opposed to (say) simply copying it, I don't see the problem.

Our product was not commercial in nature. Simply a way of helping to spread awareness of CaH as fans.
