Brawl was yet to be released on the Smashboards. And yes, they do care. They do care that Geno is a third party character. They're not just aware of that, they also do count him as property of Square-Enix, therefore they do count him as a Square-Enix representative, and therefore they already counted in that if Geno would ever be in Super Smash Bros. the spot for any Square-Enix character would already have been filled.
So yes, they do care, even if it's "just a fan game".
Also, I was being sarcastic, koopaul. The sarcasm was dead obvious.
Thing is, Geno is a Mario character. How stupid would it be to put it in a different series and consider him a third-party character just because of a note in a staff roll? And why would they care about this if they can play both as a Black Mage and as Geno. If we take Geno out, people will bitch because he was one of the most requested characters for Brawl, and if we take the FF rep out, people will bitch because they'd want to play as a FF character, and they wouldn't feel that is fair to have Namco, Capcom and other companies' reps there, and have a Mario character as Square's rep, and if we put both of them in, people will bitch because of... A note in an end credits about legal rights? Seriously? No one that will play this game (if it actually releases) will make a big deal out of having both of them in, and half of the people who plays it probably won't even know about this.
