Well in a way, its a good idea they think Pokemon Uranium is dead. Imagined if Nintendo heard about Pokemon Uranium its alive. They would imeadiatly try to take down again, just like what they do before. Pokemon Uranium its safe. For a now at least. This is why we must be very very careful.
I think Nintendo (or anyone who is interested) knows anyway. Finding this gorums is easy as typing "Pokemon Uranium" in google and bothering to look through first several results.
Personally I agree with guys above who have said that newsmans just want catchy controversial news. I don't even think most of those newsman really care or bother to research about Pokemon games in generalgeneral or Pokemon Uranium specifically.
When Pokemon Uranium link was took down, I've read a news on a Polish gaming site that claimed Nintendo killed fan made game that was just clearly better in any way than any official Pokemon game. News claimed that Nintendo killed a game because they couldn't do anything as good and went as far as claiming Uranium had novel ideas never seen in Pokemon games before, such as... multiplayer! Whether one thinks Uranium is better than official games is a matter of preference, but all in all news was just mispresenting facts. It has raised some heated discussion in comments. Apart from hate on "bad Nintendo", some people did point out that what was written in the news wasn't entirely true. Author of the news joined duscussion and eventually admitted that he has played only Pokemon Red/Blue and tried Uranium for only hour or so. I don't consider it honest journalism. It disturbs me that most news claiming Uranium dead follow this scheme: newsman barely know any Pokemon game and don't really care, but he has read somewhere that Uranium is dead and this makes a great shocking news... and who would bother with research...
And, by the way, apart from taking down Uranium download links from Megaupload (or where was it uploaded upon official release?) did Nintendo took any action against original Pokemon Uranium devs? Were there forced to end development, or did they resigned from future development because game is finished and they decided it's time to move on?
