Leland Chee said assajj and savage weren't truly Sith on Twitter. So the problem is that Savage has the Sith tag at all.

And the two Sith released with DN are old republic which was before the rule of two.

With Nihilus being released it's clear that this game isn't beholden to canon, so what Chee says isn't really relevant. She's not relevant as a nightsister, adding the Sith tag may make her useful and it makes just as much (more) sense as saying STHan is a tank because he's wearing stormtrooper "armor" so why not?

Furthermore, any arguments based on the Rule of Two - something so shortsighted and nonsensical that it's laughable - are poor arguments at their base, whether they come from Chee or someone else. Maul was a Sith. He claimed that mantle, and he named Savage his apprentice and continued the training in the dark side Savage received from Dooku. At the least that makes Savage a Sith. Given that Palpatine himself didn't even really care about the Rule of Two - and recognized the two of them as rivals - invalidating them as Sith doesn't make sense.
