So they shut down the fan remaster because there’s an official remake, then that gets canned?
Bastards.
A warning to all fan mod projects. Never comply with corporate.
Just shut the fuck up about it.
Big projects like Skywind couldn't, but yeah generally.
Ownership rights are in really bad shape these days when you can't even share free stuff you made for a game.
"Do the announcement then leak everything you've done so far/make the repository public to make the project open source or only make the announcement once the game is in a state it can be released in" is what you should have said. After that happens you might be barred from working for the copyright owner, but other companies might notice you, like the AM2R guy that got hired to work on Ori 2!
Okay maybe that's fine too. But only if you stipulate in your contact that you can stay punk.
The law being what it is I don't think they had much of a choice.
