As I said in a comment below, I've considered anything outside of the films as "legend" or "rumor" which is possible given the way the POTC world works. That being said, it probably isn't my place to say whether any of it is truly canon or not.

If I remember correctly, the Fountain island was named Skull Island in the Mermaids vs Pirates Game.
 * Yes, but I'm sure it'd be more convincing if the name appeared in more official places. Heck I'm willing to take a name from a visual guide or "Behind the scenes" book or something than an online game that could be taken down in a few years or so. :/

Also it would be nice to see some characters from the Ride (The Auctioneer) in the game.
 * Agreed. And the legendary locations Isla Tesoro and Dead Man's Cove! :)

''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?''
 * As far as I know...


 * Terry Rossio did answer a question made on The Buccaneer's Heart relating to On Stranger Tides (with Blackbeard's appearance, saying "The comic doesn't have anything to do with the movie franchise." Hence why the comic is now considered non-canon. The same can be said for any other comic (save for Six Sea Shanties) and didn't do much for any games. Regarding the Fountain island, I recall that Terry only said "the island is unnamed, and doesn't look like Florida. That's all I know."
 * Disney I'm sure is more involved, since it's their franchise. The only reason I doubt they'll get that involved, well... they're pretty much only releasing movies and stuff for the Disney Parks. Other than that, they're pretty much just paying other people to make it happen, or in other cases throwing out (or cancelling) everything else made for release.

Was hoping any name would be revealed in the visual guide for OST, but since it didn't, I have doubts that we'll ever get a semi-official name. The aforementioned "Skull Island", while interesting, seems more like a name heard in the Faithful Bride tavern... or perhaps a name used for more than one island(?)
