Gee imagine wanting to make a game for money.as i said the only reason the changes were needed is because the developers are so greedy as to want to make money off of a parody game instead of making it their own thing from the start like they should of if they wanted to sell their game, that may sound harsh but that is because it is u just dont make a parody game and then charge for it thus having to change things about it it is wrong.
I know they are making another game and from what i understand of what they have said of it it is it's own thing and doesn't rely on a pre established franchise like this game does because as i have already said no amount of changes is going to change the fact Friendship with Benefits started off based on the My Little Pony Franchise.
the changes as much as i don't like them dont change the fact that the story is great (or at least what ive played so far is) and seeing as how it is only a colour swap that is easily fixed with a mod (which i am making myself) it's not really much of a problem.
and if u must know i have already played Pony Waifu Sim and i much prefer Friendship With Benefits despite the art style changes this late into the games development (which really is the problem i have with it, the fact that it was changed right b4 the final update) which is why i am voicing my opinion in the 1st place, geez people can take criticism well these days not that im one to talk there because i dont either
Again there is nothing unethical here as again they followed through the necessary channels to be able to sell this.
Saying they should had made something else just so you didn't have to deal with an altered MLP parody sounds quite selfish honestly.
Besides doing games and being funded through patreon is the same kind of unethical as well which is why some overzealous IP holders shut down "free" game projects.
It would still be unethical even if the devs didn't made the game to be sold on steam and made a pretty 1:1 parody.
