People need to learn the difference between licensed works (like say Black Mesa), and people just using the IP of a big company however they want. It's *really* not that complicated.

And this is entirely separate to open source reimplementations, that don't use the originals.

Mods are one thing, porting the whole idea of the game with the name, assets and everything to now what is technically a very different game engine (s&box) is not the same lol.

@gamingonlinux Mods are just a way for game developers to explicilty allow it. Plenty of mods overhaul entire games to the point they're unrecognizeable.

@gamingonlinux wasn’t Black Mesa a fan project that eventually got the go ahead from Valve? I don’t think it was licensed back when it was first released…
