good. intellectual property should be respected. japanese people actually have morals that's why japan isnt a cesspit of degeneracy and hedonism like the west.
maybe those fan games should hold up on their own instead of using stolen assets and intellectual property
Maybe don't write about the fan games then, you fucking dunce. Their lawyers have to protect their IP, if they want to keep it.
*links patreon on front page*
>durrr why did nintendo take down my game!?
Hmm, it's almost as if kotaku should stop writing about fangames
good thing discordtrannies saved mario royale
>retards unironically defending this
they should be taken down if they profit, any other reason is just them being out of touch cunts
>game company doesn't like when other people make games starring their characters and IPs
This isn't really all that mind blowing, it is actually quite a reasonable stance for them to take. Music and fanart are free advertisement, games are unwanted competition
Maybe indie devs should make up their own games and stop ripping off Nintendo and then calling them the asshole.
Nobody would have cared about a 2D platformer Battle Royale in the same way without using Mario as the basis.
>out of touch cunts
No they should sue shit indie devs for being "out of ideas hacks". Make Sonic Royale if you want a company that doesn't care at all about their properties
The US has stricter copyright laws than Japan you mongoloid.
if it's not monetized, it's just a tribute to nintendo, no need to sue indie dev for that
When Shigeru Miyamoto dies, Nintendo should immediately lose their rights to the old Mario games.
Shit like that water's down the IP dumbshit
Like , all those Sonic fan games have aided in making Sonic a near worthless brand
we're not talking about actual devs, we're talking about fans that aren't profiting. it's not about making their own game
>all those Sonic fan games have aided in making Sonic a near worthless brand
Toddler please, Sonic is a worthless brand because all sonic games were absolute shit since 2 decades.
It's very simple. Just don't do it. There, that's all you have to do.
That's why I said "aided"
NINTENDOS GAMES HAVE BEEN MEDIOCRE AS FUCK
IF MOTHERFUCKERS MAKE A BETTER GAME THAN NINTENDO THEN THEY SHOULD DROP THEIR FUCKING IP.
WHERE THE BLUE FUCK IS MIYAMOTO 2
ITS CRYZEN
MARIO MMO DUDE
ITS PANNENKEOK AND
ITS KAZE EMMANUAR
BUT GUESS WHERE THEY ARE AT PUNISHED BY 70 YEAR OLDS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE GAMES
>when the person that built your house dies, you should immediately lose all your rights to the property.
notice how stupid you sound?
if anything sonic fangames are the only thing keeping the brand alive
that last fan made game that was published by sega is probably the only good one since like... sonic 3?
you're actually blaming them for sonic going down the shitter? lmao that's bullshit, pokemon has TONS of fan games and that's completely fine
>its another 'americans think they can dictate what a japanese company should and should not do without realizing the subject works in japan' episode
They're not going to chill since they're literally ヤクザ企業. The only companies that probably aren't yakuza are fucking Namco and Taito.
I wonder why nintendo has fallen from grace
Thank god faggots like you won't ever repopulate.
What other anons said...
I am not defending Nintendo because I would love to see some if those remakes, but they won't change. No matter how many remakes you make and cry about it, they won't change. They will shut down every project.
It's like people do this on purpose, just to act like some sort of victims.
Nintendo have always been overly litigious pyschopaths. If it were up to them emulators would be illegal not just rom distribution.
Sony at least got over themselves when they lost the lawsuit that killed BLEEM.
>hedonism
have sex
First, calm down you raging autist. Second, Mario Royale has shittier controls and physics than even Mario 1 on the NES, it's not a better game. Third, kill yourself.
Don't confuse laws with morals.
>wow Nintendo is protecting their property from random people looking to profit off of them >:[[[[[[[[
I fucking hate gaming ""journalism""
We need to go back to 20 years IP protection practice.
Built for sex
>protecting their property
fucking kek. also what those that are just paying tribute and aren't profiting?
>profit
>mario battle royale
It sounds stupid when the stupid mirror that you are twists it into that. We're talking about IP here.
creator was literally shilling his patreon with the game
Analogies aren’t arguments
he bearly made enough to pay for the servers, he was working at loss
doesn't matter, you can't make a profit from plagiarised assets
If fans are not profiting from the fan game, what could Nintendo possibly do to them if they refuse to stop hosting it for free?
Yeah I'm sure those few dollars will hurt the billion dollar nintendo company.
they take down games no matter what. they don't give a shit if you're profiting off of them.
>Yea Forums actually defending cancerous IP laws
not surprised to be honest
>conveniently ignoring the "SERVERS ARE EXPENSIVE PLEASE DONATE :(((" messages plastered everywhere
Damn you guys are faggots. Glad Nintendo could make you seethe this hard over shutting down a shitty flash game
Starnigger:My only is to achieve by the worst ways possible
I'm not sure if this is bait at this point, or people really don't understand.
ILL EXPLAIN WHY MARIO 64 IS BETTER THAN ODYSSEY.
IN MARIO 64 YOU CAN BE A BADASS AND HAVE MULTIPLE COMPLEX MOTHERFUCKING JUMPING CONTROLS AND QUESTS FOR STARS WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO TRY TO GOD DAMN GET THE THING IN THE GAME.
YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW ADVANCED GOD DAMN ODYSSEY IS
MARIO CAN ONLY CONTROL FUCKING 1 THING AT A TIME WHAT IS GODAMN MARIO GOING TO DO 4 HATS TO INTERACT WITH 4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENEMIES.
MARIO 64 ALL YIU HAD TO DO WAS ADD GOD DAMN PLATFORMS.
THAT'S SHITTY MECHANICS IMO
FUCK I DON'T CARE IF ITS SLOW ITS A NEW IDEA WHICH NINTENDO DIDN'T DO. NINTENDO SHOULD HONOR THESE PEOPLE BY HIRING THEM
doesn't matter, it's breaking the law
Its mario 1 but with more ppl retard
Except they still send DMCAs no matter what. Nice meme though, you fags spam it everytime this subject is brought up. How do those boots taste?
They wouldn't have to win a legal battle. Just keep it going long enough so that the legal fees are too expensive for the person running the fan game, forcing them to settle.
Retards on here will defend taking it up the ass as long as it gets them their (you)s
Too bad
so is downloading thousands of nintendo game for free, doesnt stop me from doing it :p
because it's breaking the law either way, regardless of if profit is made
>reading comprehension
fucking read shit before quoting you absolute retard
Sue them for everything they have? You think giving away bootleg Frozen blu-rays for free protects you?
You think Sony could release their own Mario game and a "teehee it's just a free fangame ;)" will protect them?
you can't really DMCA someone from doing that
Bootlicking faggot lel. Please keep defending these billion dollar companies like a good little bootlicker.
>japanese people actually have morals that's why japan isnt a cesspit of degeneracy and hedonism like the west.
Hahahahaha. This is what weebs actually believe.
the reason this faggot along with diives got taken down is because they are posting their shit linking their patreon on twitter where nintendo big wigs along with the media post constantly.
if he wasn't such an attention whoring faggot it wouldn't have happened
No it's not. Mario doesn't have any momentum. Pirahna plants don't stay in their pipes when you're near or on top of them. You can't jump through the mushroom tops. Bowser moves like he's on speed. So on and so forth. It's an inferior version of Mario 1, and it's sad that you don't even know how Mario 1 plays.
I don't care about these companies and what they do, but I do care about laws
>oi vey shalom my trillionaire company has lost ten sheckels
>i must go to Yea Forums and cry about it, this is another holocaust
Do they ever take down Pokemon rom hacks? There's like a million of those.
You only care about laws that protect billion dollar corporations, silly bootlicker. Don't lie to yourself!
There are no good fan game featuring a Nintendo IP, prove me wrong
Protip : You literally can't, don't bother
>Y-Your wine, Mario Maker 2 chad...
Why thank you, Mario Royale nigger! Nice to see that you've finally found a job, being so poor and all.
>Y-You too...
>let fangame became popular
>fangame is garbage
>your valuable IP is associated with bad fangame and you lose respectability
It's their IP and they are the only one with the right to fuck it up.
If their strategy is bad they will be the one losing money.
Rolls eyes
maybe make your own game instead of copying shit
I care about all laws
How's that boot taste?
>get BTFO
>cope by posting memes
1 year from now
NEW SUPER MARIO BATTLE ROYAL ON MOBILE.
everyone instantly praises nintendo cuz of the mass manipulation aka please buy our newest games.
NINTENDO HASN'T MADE GOOD GAMES SINCE THE GC
>Your valuable IP is associated with bad fangame and you lose respectability
lmao no what the fuck are you talking about?
t. Mario Royale nigger
>t. coper
Cringe
Try a little harder next time with your bait
They just want to feel like a channer. Ignore their shit beliefs
fpwp
You have zero understanding of copyright law.
I'm just pissed that the one time we get a Zelda spin-off with all of the most popular Zelda characters, it's a fucking musou game. I enjoyed it but only because it was Zelda.
mad
Cope with what? You're the one with the shitty fan game that got taken down, kek
Hi as an american.
I cant wait for mcdonalds and pepsi to live longer than me.
My family was on the billboards
I need to close my eyes every 3 seconds to express the freedom to not consume things.
All countries are consumerist i want to be part of a state without state enforced consumerism.
I want to be buried by alk the foods wrappers and everything i bought to say that im better than my next door neighbor.
Consumerism sets you free!
Like an animal in a line
Buzzwords.
Ok 19 year old talk to me without them form an opinion without the internet to hold your hands
so much coping in a single post
I'm not american
>Mario doesn't have any momentum
This is incorrect.
>I care about all laws
good goy
Fick nintendo. I hope they go bankrupt. Mario should be public domain
All countries had this
How's the discord version?
t. communist
Okay, fine, he doesn't have the correct momentum he should to be accurate to the original game. Happy now?
>"Games are just 1's and 0's, piracy isn't theft it's just copying, dumb fucking buycuck learn that ideas aren't material goods"
>"WHAT THE FUCK NINTENDO TOOK DOWN SOMEONE ELSE'S HARD EARN PRODUCT BASED OFF OF THEIR ORIGINAL IDEA, MAN IN SUIT BAD MAN IN T SHIRT GOOD"
It's almost like all these arguments devolve into "If I get it for cheap or free it's a good thing, but I need to pretend to be behind some grandiose banner to look like I'm not a cheapskate.
Just admit you don't want to spend money so people know you're merely looking out for yourself, pretending you're carrying a banner for a group makes you look like a faggot
Problem is if nintendo lets this slide this time and someone comes along down the road and makes a mario furry tranny game, that person's lawyer could point to mario royale and as an example of fair use or what ever legal trick they can pull up. If have a liberal judge in that case they might give the okay. This then opens the flood gate for other fan games, and before you know it someone makes a nazi mario game. The brand gets associated with nazism and normies boycott nintendo.
If anything, fan games have given some hope to Sonic that he can be decent. They've even shown just how hard it is to make an actual good 3d one.
So yea, Sega is 98% of the problem with Sonic.
you actually expect me to read all that you bootlicking faggot? kill yourself
Pretty alright, they only let you join if you dilate on cam with them though
Why shouldn't we? Japan should remember what happened last time they got uppity and didn't play ball.
If your game concept can't stand on its own, without the crutch of Nintendo's IP, then you are not deserving of comparison.
>you're a commie if you don't want to bend over for whatever bullshit laws the government makes
do you have any self awareness?
>Reads post
"Y-y-you expect me to hold a consistent belief bootlicker??"

they're just better at hiding it
HI
as an american
All societies are about slavery for items.
Communist and capitalism.
Communist has a 10% choice compared to capitalisms 100% but it still has slavery for items.
I want a life of meaning not buying mcdonalds and pepsi.com in space because now in space i have to wipe flying fries and pop spills in space because im free there like i was before
>not knowing corporation controlled capitalism and communism are borderline identical
bluepill. why do you think the jews control both movements?
why are you so angry?
Communist law would be stricter than capitalist law you literal ape.
calm down commies
IMPROVING past products are bad
HEY YOU KNOW WHAT WHY NINTENDO IS UP IN ARMS BECAUSE THEIR OLD GAMES WERE BETTER AND NINTENDO WANTS TO DESTROY THEIR ONLY COMPETION
MARIO LOST IMPACT IS BETTER THAN ANY MARIO GAME PAST 64
The birthplace of Anime and where they have vending machines of used girls panties isn't degenerate?
Communism still is consumerism.
You can't give me a new society based off of not being a slave for items
Web version or an exe?
those are some quality arguments you're coming up with
You are actually retard.
The literal and actual OCDonut Steele is the only fan creations that the sonic franchise is known for. Sonic fangames are beyond fucking obscure. If you know where to find these things you're an outlier in an already niche group of people who keep up with franchises outside of actually playing video games.
Sonic fucking killed itself and laughing at the cringey autistic fanbase is the only joy the rest of the human population gets out of that piece of shit franchise.
its kinda interesting the defense nintendo gets for their current actions. i remember when sony closed down lik sang people were up in arms
Better not fucking go fishing off the back of a camel in some states because that's illegal.
Nintendo still makes good games
Honestly, an official Mario Royale would be silly of Nintendo to pass up. Can't take a lot of resources for them to do, fans would eat it right up (especially if it was a mode tacked on somewhere in Mario Maker 2), and waiting too long risks missing the Royale bubble altogether.
It's just sad that people like the fan game makers are completely stepped on by Nintendo. I'm not saying Nintendo should say, "lol DO WHAT YA WANT WITH MARIO" but that doesn't mean Nintendo Ninja Lawyers are needed. Fuck, we got the best Sonic game in YEARS because of fan games.
Oh well.
for the last time, I'm not american
You dumb fucking idiot
Based
bet you literal niggers would like a world without laws, huh?
Sonic Mania wouldn't even exist were it not for the Sonic fangame scene.
The fuck does that have to do with what he said?
AND THEY SHOULD GET PUBLIC OUTRAGE FOR THAT
THE ORIGINAL SHOULD BE A PART OF IT AND THIS IS RIP OFF BULLSHIT
>IMPROVING past products are bad
But you're not improving on it. If you want to make a monster catching game, then create your own Pikachu, instead of stealing theirs. They did all the work in creating a timeless character. And even the autists can detail all the minute changes they made to his design over the years. So you can't argue that the original creator forfeits the IP, when Pikachu's image was reiterated multiple times by different people within the same company/association.
Improving on Mario's design, is what A Hat in Time did. Clearly inspired by Super Mario Sunshine. But the characters are far more memorable and charming. The writing is 10x better than any Mario game. They're worthy of comparison.
>stolen
It's oddly enough not an America only specific law. It's an existing law in both the UK and Australia as well.
laws are cool i just don't want to be a slave for items.
What a cuck, it's a 35 year old copyright,it needs to die.
In the West these things are celebrated while Japanese people look down on degenerates who would actually use such vending machines.
You totally disregarded what i said. They are improving mario 64 MAKING A WHOLE GAME ENTIRELY.
IF YOUR A GOD DAMN FAN OF NINTENDO YOU ARE STUCJ TO THAT ONE GAME TILL THE END OF FUCKING TIME AND IF YOU WAIT YOU WAIT FOR SHITTIER VERSIONS OF PAST TITLES.
THE ONLY WAY NINTENDO CAN STOP THIS SHIT IS IF THEY MAKE GAMES WITH OLDSCHOOL GAME DESIGN.
THESE THINGS WOULDENT EXIST IF THIS
Every indie game that steals from Nintendo could do the same without Nintendo characters / ripping off the style.
But they know then nobody would give a fuck.
Reminder that only dumbass boomers, soi drinking game journos and any other millennials who haven't given a shit about Sonic since the 2000s actually think those LOL EPIC jokes about the fanbase are still true. In reality most of the autism went away in the early 2010s and several other fandoms have since dethroned it as being the worst. Obviously all the weird DeviantArt shit and whatever tired examples they like to use still exist, but it's nowhere near as prevalent these days as it was in the 2000s when these discussions were still relevant.
Also, Sonic's fanbase and its "autism" is the only reason Sonic Mania, a game with actual, genuine passion put into it, exists. Nu-Sonic Team would NEVER be able to do anything on that level. See how Forces handled Classic Sonic for proof.
.
>that's why japan isnt a cesspit of degeneracy and hedonism like the west.
care to rethink that statement?
Mmm that delicious boot.
Whoever wrote this is a fucking idiot
They should have posted this instead
youtube.com
>They're just now finding out about this
This has been going on for YEARS, and every time a game is reported on some mainstream Nintendo news sites it gets taken down within a manner of days. It's not almost a meme, it's been a meme.
based
dumb gook
Fox
Bench
Yellow Rabbit Blue Rabbit.
Why don't they just make a Mario 64-esque game, without using Mario? Fact is, the familiarity of the IP captures more attention. And they're afraid that if they made new graphics, and actually had to code from scratch, that the task would be either too difficult, or dismissed as derivative.
t. dead nigger
Way to miss the whole fucking point retard
Fuck off, kotaku. No one cares about your opinions.
>there's no middle ground between anarchy and bring a slave to every little law
retard
what a load of bullshit
I want them to release an official version of Link to the Past x Super Metroid randomizer.
It's a shame so few people get to play it due to patching being complicated for normies.
>only the laws I don't like shouldn't exist!
Thanks for proving my point, you gonna bring up Chris next? Why not do the "your name the hedgehog" thing, that's definitely not tired at all.
Lol no it doesn't. Japan has really strict copyright laws and if you think the idiots on Yea Forums are bootlickers then you should get a load of the average jap's willingness to bow down to his corporate overlords.
who the fuck are you quoting? I'm criticizing you for saying that you care about EVERY law. not even police does that
i need my boots cleaned, maybe i should ass you for some help since youre so fuckin good at it
Proving what point? "We're not as fucking degenerate as we used to be"? Yeah cool beans bro. Good luck proving that negative.
Because the god damn game exists already the structure is there and you buildupon it and the game gets finished your playing mario 64 again for the first time and not a god damn inferior game like odyssey galaxy or sunshine
I haven't bought nintendo products since 2004 because they do not supoort people who love their games so much they make games FOR FREE THAT ARE BETTER THAN THEIR CURRENT PRODUCTS.
if nintendo let romhacks exist on their systems id buy a switch now.
Even so if nintendo would reward people who made good romhacks by making games with those people to let them to become MIYAMOTO 2
also if nintendo would reward players for playing and beating hard romhacks with things being unlocked in switch games or discounts for games
>intellectual property should be respected
>but Nintendo shouldn't respect settled international copyright law because autistic nips don't know how the rest of the world works

This image always makes me laugh when you think about what it must be like to be the person that was so constantly assblasted by people that spoke like this that they had to retaliate in the only way they knew how. By making another fucking wojack.
Miyamoto was inspired by the dynamic of Popeye, Bluto and Olive Oyl. That's where Mario, DK and Paula come from. He took a structure that already existed, and added enough of his own spin to it, developing his own universe.
Romhackers are not anywhere near Miyamoto. Sorry.
Not gonna lie you kinda sound underage.
kotaku fucking sucks so who cares
Yeah but the fans of the characters want to live with miyamotos legacy and expand upon it.
I bet if you put kaze and pannen and cryzen x make a nintendo owned game without miyamoto butting in i bet the game would be a 2019 super mario brothers 1
>that's why japan isnt a cesspit of degeneracy and hedonism like the west
*masturbates to toddlercon guro scat doujin*
>the brand gets associated with nazism
Stupidiest excuse ever, there is tons of porn with mario, peach browser,etc but nothing of that affected nintendo, a shitty minigame of mario bross even less
Why would you masturbate to that?
>every time kotaku writes about it jewtendo shuts it down
No it would. It would be derivative. Maybe it'll play technically better, but would it be a worldwide, industry defining hit? Nah.
Wait a second. I just remembered who cryzen x is. Just stop replying, you silly silly person.
I don't know, but it can't be because I'm a degenerate apparently.
the writer of this blog doesnt like that IP characters arent to be used for their creative gender bender blender or hipster shit.
>B-But he asked people for donations!
AM2R and Mother 4 didn't.

>Their lawyers have to protect their IP, if they want to keep it.
I love how the mouse has convinced countless retards that this is somewhat true.
>HIRE THIS MAN
Nothing, because I consume content from based Japan, the saviors of humanity.
Thats not how it works.
Its not Miyamotos property, its his creation. Nintendo owns Mario, they pay Miyamoto good money for the character.
>how come every time we write about someone making a fan game and give it a lot of attention Nintendo comes after them????
Stop with the ironic shit. It just comes off as insecure. What is actually wrong with you?
It's not ironic, based Japan is saving the western civilization right now.
Too many narcicistic retards thristy for (yous) why not go to faceberg a place designated for that?
Some of the more prominent ones like Prism got DMCAed. You can still find the rom but no further development iirc.
Oh. How?
Intellectual property is a spook.
Make some badass points can't argue them so i just going to try to put a person down instead of debate them
Thank you for admitting defeat
They're pissing off liberals and are true conservatives like me, it's not degenerate when they put trannies in children's games because they do it just to make me fap, not to push an agenda.
Based
They have degeneracy, it's just the non-harmful variety. If they fixed their shitty work culture among other things then it might be a decent albeit inferior alternative to my favored form of politics.
>he doesn't know
IF its god damn nintendo marketing it would sell 2x more than a top game now
Defeat? I wasn't arguing with anyone I was just saying he sounded like a kid with that shit about how you should be rewarded for beating hard rom hacks. What do you think this is The Wizard?
>snoyfags is the worst fanba-

im not actually participating in the current argument, but what kind of subhuman do you need to be that such a thing would stop you from otherwise doing such an act?
how are people so low and fucking debased and degenerate that they're this close to doing something like that at all times. i feel like a fucking alien because i dont understand how legions of rapefugees are so muh dick they do this shit. how is anyone so controlled by it.
It's all Diives' fault.
but muh boot xD

Fuck you OP for showing something from these mentally ill faggots that I agree with.

So let me get this straight. The statistics of Japan can be entirely pinned on actual Japanese people. Now post a graph of how many LEGAL UK CITIZENS are responsible.
fpbp and based, you managed to destroy an entire retarded thread on your own with a single shitpost.
are you saying refugees aren't legal? do you have a loicense for that wrongthink?

I mean I love Nintendo and lately Sony has been complete shit. I also realize Yea Forums is more than one person but I've seen plenty of anons shit on companies for similar reasons but it's really okay when Nintendo does it.

this basically, I love japan and all, but there's no fucking way those statistics are correct lmao
Still using someone else's copyright.. Mother 4 is still coming, just under a different name.
I honestly hate Nintendo for this and people that defend them. There's no reason to take down a free fan game, none, zero. And to those saying "they have to defend their IP or else it'll become public" don't understand that this will ONLY be if Nintendo DOESN'T use their IP over an X amount of time. They won't loose their IP if they let fan games go on. If people believe this, than why hasn't Sonic become a public IP? O THAT'S RIGHT, because fan games DO NOTHING TO THE IP.
Nintendo is a pathetic, lazy, company with no standards.
Implying donations are linked to the creation.
>>your valuable IP is associated with bad fangame and you lose respectability
LMao fucking morons man.
>Release "game"
>Release character files or w/e files you wanted that are associated with Nintendo or whatever other ip holder
>Separate the release and make sure it's obvious how to implement them into your base game.
Would this be so hard? I would suspect no.
To the mongs who claim the US has stronger copyright:
In Japan tons of times people are arrested for leaking manga raws. Manga fucking raws.
Just wanted to put this out here, in case someone will mention it;
Copyright is NOT the same as a patent. You won’t lose it even if you don’t protect it. The only thing that can happen, as far as I know, is that courts are less likely to take your case seriously if you let half the world run rampant with your copyrighted work and then suddenly decide to enforce it, which is hardly the case if Nintendo let some fan-games off the hook.
>BRRRRAAAAAPPPPPPPP
if the author thinks he knows better than them then should take them to court
>All the replies
Lol amerifats so easily triggered.
Exe, you can grab everything you need from
Videogame companies are afraid of fangames.
Fan made games are what the fans obviously want, therefore they'll make the companies who own the IP look bad because they're incapable of making what the fans want.
For example, that MGS Shadow moses fangame project.
The project was shaping up to be SO good looking that the suits started shitting their pants because they knew that they would never be able (or willing to spend money) to make an official game with such quality.
The thing is,
They're RIGHT to be scared.
A fan project will almost definitely have more soul than an official sequel / remake, because the developers have passion and love for their work and the game.
It shows, because more often than not, a single person working on a fangame may make more progress in a year than a shitty IP holder will in a decade.
This is also the reason why so many kikestarter/patreon "spiritual successors" are a thing.
When fan devs realize they can't make a fangame, they make a knockoff that may or may not draw huge success from crowdfunding, which honestly is a way smarter thing to do than a fangame.
Fan games are a waste of talent to be honest.
Touhou franchise has dozens and dozens of fangames that are unironically better than the source material.
They'll get more donations and support when they ride a big IP's name, but they're better off just gambling on creating something original.
Well, that's just my opinion, though.
