[[WMG:Richman series' discontinuation was actually because of a game called SNDA Richman, and Softstar's failing of a lawsuit against SNDA, rather than the claimed "lack of breakthrough".]]
* In July 2005, SNDA has an online game called ''SNDA Richman'', which plays identical to ''7'' 's active-time mode, even with similar artstyles and gameplay details. In March 2006, the same year ''8'' was out, Softstar filed a lawsuit against SNDA for copyright issues, but eventually lost the lawsuit because ''SNDA Richman'' had a different name and different characters, thus not violating the copyright laws. Many players believe this has caused Softstar to be discouraged in making further ''Richman'' titles, while others still think that it was mainly because of ''8'' 's failure.
