    I had the same thought. There are countless romhacks of games that have lived for years. So long as the game isn’t a direct rip of the original that largely plays the same (thinking of that Link’s Awakening upgrade that was taken down a few weeks ago), it should survive.
    Even then, there are Pokemon improvement hacks that are still surviving. It’s probably because the original game is not a part of the download and you patch it over a ROM you supply yourself.

      Good point. Including original Nintendo assets in the project is a death sentence.
