Well I've figured out why Simon got a C&D from this Boardgame....In his own words from the Discord server
"Sorry. I'm done distributing it, someone who claimed to be a fan of the game is the one who turned me into Konami so he could rip off the idea after they shut me down, so I'm done, he or someone like him could be anywhere, waiting for me to start sending it out privately so they can run and tell Konami again and get me sued out of existence.
About a month ago"
Still that is pretty messed up that someone will rat on him to get Konami to do something.....
