As some one said earlier, I think he tries to "Americanize" is with the "c" instead of the "k" which is the legal way he spells it. If it were me, I'd spell it the way it should be spelled legally instead of trying to making it more "hip".

For one thing I don't think that Thomas is as stupid as some people would like to think, if he is misspelling his name, then he is doing it for a reason, what that reason is? Is anyone’s guess. Maybe so when we p & l at him then he can say "It is a fake, look even my name is spelt wrong".

Maybe he's a blathering/blithering idiot that doesn't even know how to wipe his own nose when he sneezes, too...

I have to agree that he may want to make it seem more American. A fair amount of people who move to the US do that. When my great grandfather moved to the US and was old enough to change his last name, he changed it to make it more American-Italian, rather than just Italian.

He's lucky, when my great-grandparents came here, both sets, their last names got changed without their permission in order to sound more "American." What's wrong with Christiansen or Fredericksen? If Thomass were to immigrate here to the states, I know pretty much what he would be called. "Roadkill." Cheesy

Hahahahaha.  That was the worst "legal" letter I have ever read.  Whoever wrote it was trying very hard to sound like they know what they are talking about.  Next time they need to do a little research before they try to threaten someone.

2: Thomas uses Isacsson on the site, because it looks more "Statesider " and the majority of his users do come from the USA, but his legal name is spelled Isaksson.  And yaknow, that was such a professional letter, he'd want to make sure to sign it with his 100% legal name.

That's most likely. I found a cached google page which refers to "Jan Isaakson" as a personal reference from TSR.

That's what I figured too.  As much as I'd like to see TSR be stopped, I won't stoop to finding demons where there are none.  There is plenty of guilt for them, we don't need to find stuff where there isn't.

That could be 'Johan'. My feelings are they are all the same guy. Is there such a thing as a 'professional schizophrenic'? Cheesy

Could just be Jan is short form of Johan.  And yeah, my mother's father's name was americanized - oddly, my fathers birth and adopted names weren't, but then they'd been here for a century or three.

or Isakson (or whatever myriad of spellings there are) is just an assumed name.  Or maybe a professional name.  Maybe his real last name isn't that at all...but to be more appealing to the unwitting Sims fan, he uses something that's easy to pronounce...Just a thought

I think it's real and the confusion is just from translational issues. It's hard to kiss EA's butt without being real.

Okay, so he knows how to spell his own name.  It still doesn't explain why he can't spell his company's name.

All I can see while reading through that was "BAHHHH! DEY MEANIES! MAEK EM STOP!"

So many contradictions, misspellings, and lies. 

Also, I am sure many of us were against paysites and didn't need Pes to 'brainwash' us, as they so believe.  I hated paysites before I found this place, and ended up finding this place.  Not because I do not wish to pay for their items and want them for free (Because even if they were free, they would NOT find a place in my game, too icky) but because it is illegal to sell the content, and theft.

FYI - all of my PayPal receipts for my (now-canceled) subscription were to "AB Jan Isacsson".
