Lucky you for getting a response from them. I reached out for comment and got nothing. XD
If it turns out that from now on all the Fantasyboxes will have inlays which read steelbook, I'm pretty much done with collecting steelcases. I simply don't want to tripple check every time if I'm buying a genuine steelbook or if it's one of those Fantasyboxes.

Although I have to admit that their designs are nice and the quality of their cases is not bad (for those who do not know: I paid more than 100€ for a steelcase of which I thought it would be the original Titanfall 2 Steelbook. Only a few months later I found out it was the Fantasybox. Money wasted ...), I do not want to spend any money on their products as I do not want to support this.
Plus, even if I would consider buying their steelcases, it's simply too expensive as they're releasing so much new ones every month.

The fact that Scanavo is doing nothing about this was to be expected, but I have no idea what to do other than informing them.

Anyway, in case anyone of us can confirm that more Fantasyboxes will have the steelbook brand on their inlay, pls post here with links and photos. Hopefuly we can stay tuned of any new developments so that everyone of us is aware when buying steelcases.
