>>55602544>as the project were made with the express intent of to build upon the base pokemon formula...so they're games that use Pokemon assets to their advantage.
These also are "real" games. I have no idea what the distinction is, there's been plenty of actual plagiarism cases in the vidya industry and Rejuv makes more money than probably half of them, what's even your point.
>is the sole reason daybreak got taken down?Given that Daybreak is back up on the site and doesn't have the offending maps...
This is obfuscation of the point which is that we should not even need to HAVE this discussion in the first place, or for anyone to discuss "leniency" of mods in regards to stolen assets. Every creator in this community is MAKING A GAME WITH STOLEN ASSETS. The entire foundation upon which some ridiculous code of honor where you have to measure out what is acceptable is built is a house of cards.
The fact you're even describing a situation to me where a fangame could reach some arbitrary point of "too many stolen assets" is just lunacy bro. It's not even one that's even consistent, attitude wise and away from RC mod niggery. Urmumium and Detergent were not made with Uranium/Insurgence devs' permission but they're called prudes on Rebornevo while people bend over backwards to attack Luis Serpa for making a game with ancient Rejuv sprites. If you don't think people just get away with awful shit and bullying because they're big and popular I have a bridge to sell you.
>feels like a false equivalence for obvious reasonsYou're right, it isn't, because Nintendo has a genuine and righteous financial interest in taking down fangames, and the cunty behavior of RC and PC jannies or people like the Rejuv devs is not justified at all.
