So does Rockstar, Valve and Microsoft investigate for any unlicensed commercial usage of the Intellectual Property they own and copyright violations by others. Some are less aggressive, that’s for true. If it’s not, then Pokemon Company or Nintendo simply don’t care.
It should have been called Reimagination to set expectations for existing fans. FF7 original is probably my favorite game of all time (tie with FF6) and I still did not play Remake (lost interest waiting too long and then asking price on Steam is 80 Euros, fuck you SquareEnix!).
But you know, I am not entirely opposed to changes in story and character handling, if its done well. They even changed up the battle system. To me this is an opportunity to re-live the game, to experience it with new perspective and see details I could not before. If it was exactly the same game with better graphics, that’s just playing the same game again. But the Remake… ahem, I meant Reimagination, is different. And you know what, I kinda like this idea. But off course, I still did not play and don’t know how bad it is. And oh god, I hope they don’t change the important story line in part 2… this would be a huge fuck.
