No date has been set yet; P&F asked for sooner, Stardock said there’s no rush (unsurprisingly, since the status quo while the motion is pending (no DMCAs allowed) is what they want).
Someone who is a big fan of Reiche and Ford could greatly value knowing that they were being sued by Stardock before buying Stardock’s game. Someone who’s never heard of them probably doesn’t care at all. This seems like such a subjective question that arguing about would be a waste of everyone’s time. So let’s not, okay?
