===Legal issues=== On 26 June 2019, God Eater suddenly disappeared from the servers. It was moved to the Legacy List of the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]]. All preview, progress, and verification videos for the level were removed from YouTube. Many speculated that knobbelboy had been hacked, and he made a community post saying he had not. He had removed all his videos about God Eater and asked [[Robert Topala|RobTop]] to delete the level from the servers, but he could not yet disclose the reason. On 5 September 2019, knobbelboy announced that the level had been removed due to a legal dispute. The reason was that a bit less than a month before the level came out, the [[Wikipedia:God Eater 3|third instalment]] of the Japanese RPG franchise, ''[[Wikipedia:God Eater|God Eater]]'', was released in December 2018. When knobbelboy released the level roughly a month later, it drew the attention of the franchise's publishers, [[Wikipedia:Bandai Namco Entertainment|Bandai Namco]]. Upon its release, the level surpassed the ''God Eater'' game in YouTube viewership and overall attention. Considering how much more popular the level was than their own game release, and after noticing that the level included multiple segments of traced art from their game and technically used the game's name without permission, Bandai Namco filed a cease-and-desist letter against knobbelboy for copyright infringement in mid-July 2019. knobbelboy removed the videos, asked RobTop to delete the level and got a lawyer to represent him in the case, though how it went down was never revealed.
