Huh, that's strange. Not sure there is anything we can do to stop it though, as it's not coming from any of our servers.

Maybe contact the provider they email from and get that email blocked or something?

It doesn't even mention anything related to us besides the word Automation though does it? Which makes it difficult to claim it's about us.

I'm inclined to think it wasn't meant to be about this game at all.Rather I think what it meant "automated support".

The mailing address belongs to an automated translation company, so my guess is that it is a curious coincidence.

Automation is a pretty industrial word. Copyrighting that would be impossible. Some weeks ago i did automation at work - Simatic S7.
