The canonicity of PotCo, let alone this one, is dubious. As long as it doesn't contradict the story for the most part we should consider it. I mean, I don't think events like Invasions or the Destruction of Port Royal would have actually happened in the PotC Universe. The Black Pearl being taken or Queen Anne's Revenge under control - we need to leave that as secondary canon, at least for the former.

The game isn't ENTIRELY fan-made - some of the original developers are working on it as well. And I'm sure they'll be thinking of ways to take the plot forward from where it left, and might have received some info from the original team as well.

But you mentioned that no one from the film franchise would answer regarding that. I've gotta ask, what is Disney's or Terry's or anyone's position on the game story? Have they recognized it a all?

Since we're instrumental in the future of the game, I think we should suggest what elements in the plot they should address. I would like to know the fate of the Casa de Muertos and some insight on the one-time event-only lore mention of the "Abu Naar" clan. (that Mercer had some connection to)

They've been discussing about an inclusion of the Fountain I believe. And mermaids and all. We'll see after the game hits BETA. (It's scheduled to hit it sometime this year, by which they mut have replicated the old PotCo in its entirety, after which they will take it forward in updates)
