It's a particularly low blow to go after a ROM hack, and quite out of the ordinary. We won't ever know now, but does it really matter? So, why should SE go sending out C&Ds to the 90%+ of these projects that will die in utero? It only logically makes sense from their perspective to use resources to only go after the properties with the biggest impact on their universe.Īll in all, maybe this game would have been amazing, maybe it wouldn't have been, and maybe that last 2% the development team claimed to have left before release might not have never been done. And I think that's the reason why it's happening now - we all know that virtually none of these fan projects ever make it to anything resembling a public release. This will obviously be hard on company goodwill among the fanbase - I don't think there's a soul out there who would boycott the company over this, of course, but beating up on the fans is never good for morale. I can certainly empathize with the developers, given my own role as the person that might someday get a letter like that - hey, who can tell? It sucks to lose that experience, but they can never fully take experience away from you, even if the tangible product no longer exists.īy the same token, though, Mike and I were talking about this before he posted it, and I can also see where SE are coming from.
