Yes friend... I only made some changes but I will definitely leave the credits to the original developer so as not to get it wrong. Although some people do work and then disappear from the internet....

Apparently your profile name is a straight up lie. "Fun Games For All" *Except the ones you think should be shut down right?
OH and you want people, if they do make, mod or alter games and put in hours, days, years of labor - to not even have an OPTION of getting paid for that labor? Sounds like scumbag behavior to me.
Please, correct me if I got something wrong here.
You’re completely mistaken, and honestly, it’s pretty rude for someone who’s so wrong. I played this game years ago, and it’s clear that Alexandre Xander GMG has taken the work from GimaBrothers Productions and reposted it as his own, claiming to have made some changes. This means that anyone who donates or supports this Alexandre guy is unintentionally backing him over GimaBrothers, which isn’t fair to them. He’s tried something similar before with the Simpsons fan game as well!
I was rude, you got me there.
I took this as people shutting down a modder who wanted to be able to receive payments for their work.
Apparently, that's not the whole story, otherwise, I think we would be on the same page. I can't exactly play the modded game for myself, which I wanted to, so was it completely unchanged or what?
(Also, openbor is sick, I only recently discovered that was a thing.)
I fully support the right of creators to develop fan games and receive support or donations from their communities. However, what I find unfair is when someone takes a fan game that another person has worked tirelessly on—investing time, effort, and creativity—only to edit it without permission, make questionable and limited changes, and then present it as their own. This not only undermines the original creator’s hard work but also diverts attention, support, and even donations away from them. The true credit, recognition, and financial support should go to those originals who put in the real effort to bring their vision to life.
Ok, so, first off, I was kind of a dick. Sorry about that, I can be over zealous sometimes, especially in regards to game delisting and attacks on fan games etc. However, I gave ur comment an upvote, because I agree with you.
So, really I'm trying to find the line for you (and the other guy who reduced my opinion to that of a drunk due to my username, a common occurrence tbf lol)
If someone made a mod for a game, lets say, idk, Star Wars Battlefront (the original) would you not be just adding to another teams work? The person making the mod obviously didn't make Battle Front. So, I guess what I'm asking is how is that different than adding to a work that another indie team worked on?
I'm a huge supporter of mods, hacks, alterations, fan games etc. and I think people should be able to be compensated for that work. So if something was added to this game, what is the issue as long as they cite the og team (which they said they did, my bad if they didn't, going with the info I can see) and as long as they don't take credit for making the whole game?
For me the main issue here is that this isn't just a mod or a small addition; it's essentially the same game with minimal changes. The reality is that the original developers did the bulk of the work, and now, if they ever decide to release it on platforms like Itch.io, they’ll be competing against this version. That’s the real concern—not just proper credit, but the fact that the original creators could be undercut of fans, support and donations by something that required significantly less effort to put together.
Mods and fan projects are great, but there's a difference between adding meaningful expansions and just re-releasing someone else’s work with a few tweaks. It’s about recognizing where the real effort was put in and ensuring the original team isn’t left at a disadvantage.
Hope that makes sense.
I think I'm seeing your point now.
So if this author released just the mod that alters the game and linked to the original game, you would be fine with that, but in this case it contains the full game that they didn't make and the modded bits, so that's not cool?
I think I get where you're coming from, lmk if I got it right.
