It's stupid because such a remake mod is free advertising for Lucas Films, and the original games, and does not detract from the value of Lucas Films IP in the slightest--I'd love for those lawyers to tell me how such a remake, which the authors were doing out of love for the games and *not* for monetary gain, apparently, threatens the value of the Star Wars IP.

You have to be pretty dense to not understand that

1) This wasn't a mod. They were remaking the ENTIRE game. Stop with "that's okay." You know that's a load of crap.

2) How does it threaten the Star Wars IP... Lets see... The game ends up being glitchy, it looks badly on them. The game is literally a FREE version of their game, so now they're never going to sell another copy of it, or an enhanced edition if they decide to do that. Hell, it makes a sequel even questionable if theres a modern engine version of the real game. Lets also see... they start letting people use their IP for free... now nobody needs to license the property.

Anyway, had these folks the money they could likely take Lucas Arts to court and win on the simple basis of fair use

Yes, reusing the entire script of a game, sounds, basis of graphics and the IP are "Fair Use". Come on man...

Also, remakers: stop announcing your shit until it's finished.

I've seen this posted before, what is it supposed to accomplish exactly?
Illegal shit is still illegal, whether it's finished or not.

BULLSHIT, 20 years ago, this would've been considered a mod and the developers would've likely extended their help to the modding team... Thus profiting in the process. Nowadays they just shoot themselves in the foot.

I can't speak for 20 years ago, but 19 years ago you'd be wrong.

That fact that this comes from liberals is a huge red flag right off the bat.

courts have held that self-incrimination does not apply to biometric shit like fingerprints and your face. however it does apply to things you "Know" like a PIN or password.

But it's not free, is it?

How ironic. A good part of the article is about people blindly taking the word of random people on the internet. Read the article yourself. Don't be part of the problem.

Even if russians were involved in the DMC hacks, as this article strongly seems to suggest, the Democratic Party should take some responsibility for how they handled all of that fallout, and especially for backing the wrong candidate, instead of just pointing fingers.

Boo, fucking, hoo. Cry me a river.
