We're going to have to disagree i'm afraid. We see this in different light, because in your situation i would have considered it more like you taking another's author paper and trying to sell it as your own. And you see it as more of a reference thing.

I can see your side of it, but i can't agree with it.

@meist3r
The problem is that these companies should have asked for permission to begin with (for a slight portion of course) not the other way around.

You are making them out to be the good guys, but they still released a product called a "Buster Sword" based on the Final Fantasy (r) Buster Sword with the entire intent of making money off of someone else's idea.

The true Criminals here are these people that think they can go around and make money off of someone's intellectual property.

Loopholes != legal precedent

The fact of the matter is still that Square Enix has a Copyright on these products, and these companies made illegal replicas of their copyright.

By your peoples logic, i could make a "fan-made" copy of a Honda Civic and that would be ok?

They're protecting their investment.... Nothing more.

You people are being overly cynical.

The fact that you misspelled his last name is probably proof that he shouldn't.

But that never stopped Sid Meier

Since when has Dragon Age gotten a solid reputation?

Don't you need to release a game before you talk about how people are going to love the sequal?

well that's just like, your opinion, man.

Young children I assume means younger than 10. The rating on batman is 10+....

Who wants to join with me and make a Committee for Convincing Parents to Be Parents Instead of Having a Committee Do It For You.

In order for a game to be truly overrated, it would have to be getting amazing professional reviews, and less than stellar actual user reviews...

from what I've seen, the user reviews are higher than the professional ones. You are still entitled to your opinion, but this game is far from overrated...

my opinion: best of 2008
