No problems, I leave the scripts open just so that people can consult and see how easy it is to create games on Renpy even without knowing how to program anything. Of course, my code is pretty badly done so it is not that useful, but for people with no interest in becoming programmers, but with an interest in using Renpy to tell a story, I think it can help.
I think these things are kind of extreme. I don't want to harm the players' experience, just show them that the game was made by me, and not by the guy who charged them 16 Euros.
Not that this is a big problem, browsing his website, I only found 19 reviews about my game, so it probably didn't sell that much. I am also not ambitious and I am happy with the current situation, I have a lot of patrons who value what I do and that is enough for me, it is not like I am on a crusade to make as much money as possible.
The only thing I regret is that there are people who bought the game from this guy, liked the characters and situations, maybe even became fans, but have no idea that they can interact with the real author, suggest scenes, talk about the game they liked, etc. This situation is quite malicious, because a guy is preventing potential fans from knowing the real source of the work they like because by keeping them in the dark, he can make some money. This is disgusting and sad at the same time.
Finally, it's not like I'm someone who cares about copyrights, either. I use an Illusion game to create my own games... At least I make it clear what is the origin of the assets I use, so people who like the game art, for example, can search for Koikatu and have fun creating their characters.
Your a swell dude / dudet.
