I've seen many (MANY) free a game that uses so called copyrighted material and nothing ever happened. Truth is, if the owners of the material feel like yer game it's a threat, they will ask you to stop, just like crap company Square Enix got scared of
and shut it down. If you are going to do something like this and FREE, keep it secret until it's complete and keep the testing around to a trusted circle of people. Once it's complete, release it in all it's glory and give the finger to crap corps. like SE. Just hide where it really came from. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle">
Not ALL companies care though, believe it or not, some cool companies are actually left.
I dont think this is a very fair comment to be honest.
Saying a company is crap just because they shut down a product that was a recreation of 'their' game without 'their' permission is exactly what I would expect if i was in their shoes.
The fact that the game is really well done only makes it worse. Square makes a lot of money remaking their older games and fans are happy to play them. Chrono trigger is a classic game - worthy of a remake, but to do it without the permission of square is just silly. If they have the talent - why not make an original game?
