Right, this was a ROM hack, which means changing the characters, names, etc. would still mean you're using the CT engine, which is where much of the problem comes from. Likewise if they started from scratch, but kept the plot, changed the names and everything, it would still take years to complete. It's a nice suggestion, and it's been suggested tens of times, but it's unrealistic.
And the entire "someone should release it, they can't do shit" is a terrible idea. Zeality and everyone already told SE that they deleted all copies. If a copy appears, it'll go back to them, regardless of who did it. Look, being annoyed by SE's actions is one thing, but consider the fact that the people who made CE are real people, with real lives, and this could potentially be a real and huge problem. Leave the legal advice to people who really know what they're talking about, it's nice that you care, but let Zeality and them get real advice from real people.
Oh and we don't need to cuss out or boycott SE, cause this C&D is really something from a legal department, I doubt most of the employees at Square know about it or give a care. SE's recent actions don't reflect the company entirely...Passion is one thing, but nonsensical claims and hate rants really have no purpose.
Just let the people really dealing with this situation tell us what's happening and keep us updated, cause ultimately that's all that matters.
