it's basically a disease that most gamers feel entitled to all content ever to be created. it happens here in blockland, it happens in other games, its happening right now in this thread. its a terrible time to be a content creator because while you have legal rights over all your intellectual property and content, you basically lose the favor of literally everyone if you try to enforce it or defend your content at all. you have people coming from all angles saying the "internet is free!" or whatever loving libertarian garbage bullstuff you can spew to basically justify anyone shamelessly copying and reproducing content.
people basically just see the content as some strange abstraction of a free product that can float around endlessly, and they give no regard to the creators' wellbeing or their stakes involved in the creation of the content. like as a youtuber you can literally lose your loving income because someone else decides to copy your style of video and steal your views. the moment they try to be protective and secure their own loving property they're selfish and benefiting themselves or whatever.
you loving cunts just see SPYRO and you don't see the however many billions of dollars that went into and were grossed from the mere idea of SPYRO. you just see this loving purple dragon and think that its fair game and anyone can do what they want with it. it damages the whole franchise. it confuses potential customers when they see whatever fan game first before they discover the actual official game. that fan game could be anything. it could contain hidden researchographic content in it, or the developer of the fan game could be a tribal, and suddenly when you think of SPYRO, you think of a tribal. or a stuffty game. you think HALF LIFE and the first thing that comes to mind is probably hunt down the freeman. this is why its loving dangerous. the people who worked for years to build up the likeness of SPYRO need to secure their loving content so they can continue to capitalize off of their own work.
so next time you want to say "awww, poor fan game devs :( they lost all that work :((((" try also thinking about the actual REAL loving owners of spyro and how much they would lose if a non-canon outsourced game suddenly engulfed the franchises' reputation
