Valg will become famous soon enough
In the original post you quoted, my analogy was that both are easily fixed (restore credits, agree to comply with Synozeer's voting rules), incur no cost to Medievia, and I imagine would:

1) Get people talking about Medievia in a positive light.
2) Remove ammunition from their detractors.
3) Fortify their legal position (re: credits) by reducing copyright infringement concerns.

(Their stance would remain that they are a DIKU derivative by the letter of the law, but that the license is unfair, unenforcable, or whatever. This is what they're saying now anyway.)

I don't understand why a PR director would oppose either of those steps from just a cost/benefit analysis, let alone the fact that proper crediting of creators is consistent with professional ethics in any field.
