I am not taking any "high moral ground" or, in fact, making any "moral" argument at all. That's your claim, not mine. I am pointing out the realities of the situation to those engaged in the hopeless (IMO) quest to get someone to take over this game. The fact that I am pointing out the situation while on a game site that pirates games is completely moot.He didnt try and fail, read the entire thread, he tried and did well, and then a bunch of holy than tho ass wipes verbally bashed him for even trying to begin with, using the same dumb logic You are trying to use, the same high moral ground You are trying to use while You are sitting here on a site as You are, as others in this thread have already said, a site that rapes games by the hour from endless game Devs, for our playing pleasure for free.
I enjoy both the site and the community. The occasional controversy is a feature, not a bug.Having said the above, don`t get me wrong here, I love this site lol, if I could eat, sleep and live here for free 24/7 I wouldtho I am sure the Mods would evict me eventually lol.
This would be significant only if my argument was based in any way on some legal point, which it isn't. My point is based on the reality that storytellers such as would be required to complete this game are not going to be interested in telling other peoples' stories when they have the talent to tell their own. I'm a writer myself (not professional, but for my own amusement and occasionally to help a dev with their game) and that's pretty much the mindset of every writer I know. There are exceptions (some novelizations of movies have been done by decent writers) but they are almost all for the money, not the pleasure of writing.3Diddly owns the story only, the models used are not owned by him, the general scene artwork used is not owed by him, the corruption concept is not owned by him, the names are clearly not owned by him, he owns very little in reality if we are being honest here for once.
A new game along these lines would be terrific. There's clearly an audience. A continuation of this game or a remake using the same plot, dialogue, etc just isn't in the cards, IMO. Feel free to differ, but eschew the moralizing and strawman arguments, please.A remake of this game by a Fan or Fans would be a great thing in reality, and anyone saying otherwise really needs to remember exactly what type of ground they are standing on to begin with before they spout off endless legal and moral BS.
