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?
Nintendo didn't take down the download links. The original devs voluntarily took down the links themselves when they received copyright violation notices from Nintendo of America's lawyers. Nor were they forced to end development, as they had promised in their official statement that support and updates would continue.
Why they later resigned is anyone's guess. Maybe they received more threats from Nintendo, maybe they got overwhelmed and burned out trying to keep up with support (especially in the wake of the hacker attacks on the original servers), or maybe they just decided it was time to let Uranium go and possibly move on to new projects. They didn't really give much of an explanation in their final statement, and nobody else seems to know for sure what happened.
