Question[]
I've seen a lot of people saying that May Lee, Angel and K9999 are still owned by Eolith or something like that. I don't belive that's true, because if they did own them, May Lee and Angel would not have appeared in 2002 UM, though we all know the reason behind K9999's absence (I'm glad he doesn't appear anymore as he had a terrible design in my opinion, creating Nameless was a smart move).
There's something I need to know. Are those three the only KOF characters "owned" by Eolith? Because they also created Original Zero, Igniz and Kusanagi, and I don't see SNKP having any legal problems regarding them as Kusanagi did reappear in 2003 (the former two only reappeared in 2002 UM because they're bosses, of course).
And yes I know May Lee, Angel and Kusanagi were in Neowave too, in case that's important. But I know the former two were only in the PS2 version, if they are not owned by Eolith anymore, why's that? Kusanagi did not have that problem, yet he was also created by them.
Long story short, didn't Playmore get everything from Eolith back when they became SNKP?
