No new content - just porting from RPGM to Renpy.There's something new? Or is it trying to sell old content? o0
I fully agree, especially as he has no plans to extend the story, you may as well just play the original right?I'm not sure I'm really cool with taking someone else's stuff and then reissuing it and having patrons who pay. If you're doing it just out of love and want to modernize the game, fine, but using it to make money is a bit beyond the pale.
Not sure how this is any worse than using someone else's art/photos (like 90% of russian games do) or tracing over someone else's photo shoots (like gggb). Even if you're using someone else's stuff, in both cases you're also putting in work, it's not like you're outright stealing it and rehosting it.I'm not sure I'm really cool with taking someone else's stuff and then reissuing it and having patrons who pay.

It is not the same, you are comparing pears with apples. If you want to remodel someone else's work, you have to do it for free or ask the owner for permission (Or both to be more secure). Try modifying the Baldur's Gate and then ask for money...I think porting a game to another machine is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to get money for.
It's sort of like the new releases of the Baldur's Gate series, those cost money as well.
