The legal retainer was exhausted, and the narrator still had to find money for the studio's evidence exchange. The game team, meanwhile, needed a firm release date for Final Form after two delays. A-Zhen was checking the public page, especially how it identified the owner of the name.
Final Form announced an October 15 Steam release, with more than 800,000 wishlists. A-Zhen insisted on keeping the footer statement, “XAI is a federally registered trademark of Ex Populus (registration no. 7,788,241),” so the release page would also document use of the name in games. In the internal chat, the narrator said, “Just hold on until release day.” XAI closed at $0.00666, up 7.2%.
With a date set, the team could plan release work against a real deadline. The footer also brought the trademark dispute into that immediate work. Wishlists had yet to become revenue, while legal fees kept draining cash. The narrator still had to cover the next two months; whether release would offer relief remained open.
