Trademark law basically says that if they don't defend their trademarks, they lose them (due to them becoming diluted in the public mind).  So I understand where they're coming from.

Why they didn't just talk to the people behind this (and more importantly, Chrono Resurrection) and offer up a small development support team to release a high quality product for a tenth of the cost of a from-scratch game but for nearly all the profit (they could pay the actual developers a pittance since they basically have no choice but to accept), I have no fucking clue.

One could argue that fanfiction is not protected under fair use, since it's not parody or critical commentary.

One could rightly argue that it was a straight out derivative work, and therefore a copyright infringement if not authorized.

And it's not like it costs SE a lot of money to send out Cease and Desist letters.

Fair warning, I suppose.
