    Such a waste of energy. They should have made a new game so that they could sell it and not just get a lawsuit for their project.

        They could’ve at least had an “accidental data breach” or something instead of just sitting on their hands telling everyone else how cool the thing they can’t have is

        Fair enough but these fan projects are a waste. At best you get a cease and desist letter, at worst a lawsuit and all your work scraped.

        Make an original game based on the concepts and mechanics of these games.

          Not every project’s goal is to make money. I’d argue that spending time learning now to remake a game that you personally love is not a waste of time. You get the thing you wanted (a remaster) and you’ve honed a skill.

            If you actually are allowed to finish the project without getting sued up the ass. Sure.

            You can learn the same skills making a game that’s inspired by your favourites.

            Making a new game and selling it are two different things. You can make it and give it away for free like many do.
