The Big Topic: The legality of fan games like Project AM2R
What we’re into: Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy 15
COO of Bithell Games Alexander Sliwinski joins us this week for a podcast chock full of intelligent discussion, surprising revelations, and ’90s slow-jams. We open the show discussing Project AM2R – the recently released/DMCA’d Metroid fan remake which spent nearly a decade in development – along with the legality of creating fan projects like this and whether they have a chance to exist in the 21st century. We move right along into a deep dive into No Man’s Sky – aka the cilantro of video games – and close out talking about Kingsglaive, the cinematic feature-length tie-in for Final Fantasy 15. And… it’s actually good? What?
