so it's fine to just steal all of the code and simply switch out a few things here and there? in my book that's not just lazy, but also copyright infringement. i'm no law person, but you can't just copy McDonald's, from burger recipes to shop design to commercials and simply replace the clown with a monkey.
that said, i'm not sure what teary coud (or even wanted to) do here, but regardless, this is a disrespectful and very lazy approach to game design that shoudn't be financially supported. at least not in my book.
