    Maybe every single game doesn’t deserve a sequel or a remake.

    Focus on making new games instead of complaining about not getting paid to produce nonexistent regurgitation.

        Such a waste of energy. They should have made a new game so that they could sell it and not just get a lawsuit for their project.

          Time enjoyed wasting is not time wasted.

            They could’ve at least had an “accidental data breach” or something instead of just sitting on their hands telling everyone else how cool the thing they can’t have is

            Fair enough but these fan projects are a waste. At best you get a cease and desist letter, at worst a lawsuit and all your work scraped.

            Make an original game based on the concepts and mechanics of these games.

              Not every project’s goal is to make money. I’d argue that spending time learning now to remake a game that you personally love is not a waste of time. You get the thing you wanted (a remaster) and you’ve honed a skill.

                If you actually are allowed to finish the project without getting sued up the ass. Sure.

                You can learn the same skills making a game that’s inspired by your favourites.

                Making a new game and selling it are two different things. You can make it and give it away for free like many do.

    I only played it briefly at my nephew’s house back in the day but it actually seemed really janky. Was it actually good or was this just “omg GTA but with Simpsons I’m 11 and this is cool!”?

        I remember watching a playthrough once. You could hear their enthusiasm drop part way through level 3.

        It’s a game whose legacy is propped up entirely by nostalgia.

          I’ll be honest, I thought the this was about Road Rage until they mentioned GTA. Was Hit & Run that popular?
