He's been trying to contact the original's publishers from the beginning. Of course I'm not a lawyer, but the only thing they can claim copyright over is the name, which is easy enough to change. Game rules and ideas cannot be copyrighted (hence all the cheap mobile game clones of literally every game).
This is a lame move from the publishers, big thumbs down from me.
Same for the C64 crack scene. I don't know who you can even call something a "crack", when the previews he published don't have protection. Taking someone else's hard work, slapping a crappy, tired looking, re-used intro on it is the epitome of lameness. They should be ashamed. |
