D4 Enterprise has withdrawn its rerelease of the role-playing game Burai Jouken due to concerns raised by the original creator, Takeo Iijima, regarding copyright permissions. The game was originally launched for the PC-8801 in 1989 and was reissued on February 20, 2025, for the EGGCONSOLE platform without securing necessary permissions from Iijima. Althi, the owners of the Riverhill Soft catalogue, apologized for the oversight and clarified that the MSX2 version is the legitimate release. Iijima expressed frustration on social media, stating he had not been contacted prior to the game's publication and had sought its removal. His outreach to Althi led to the game's withdrawal. This incident follows a previous controversy in August involving unauthorized use of a PC98 emulator by EGGCONSOLE.
