Mother 4 never ever

Mother 4 never ever.
Rebranded version will be shit and will cost lods emone.
Fuck the humanity, fuck the human being.

I expect either a patch from the devs or from fans to mod it back into Mother 4, since they claimed the engine would be free to use after it had been released. Nobody's interested in it besides Starmen.net asskissers now that it gave up its calling card of being the MOTHER fangame, and something genuinely worthy of picking up the title of Mother 4.

Regardless they tarded the fuck out and they fear a DMCA that isn't forthcoming. Not for a series like MOTHER that Nintendo barely cares about outside of Ness and Lucas in Super Smash Bros., not for a game that didn't have a set release date (despite their constant trying), and certainly not for a fangame with completely from-scratch assets for absolutely everything.

Cocksucking flags I forget to turn the thing off every time I post.

It's literally the same game with namechanges, user. Congratulations, you got what you wanted after years of shitposting.

Name changes, removal of any elements related to MOTHER properties (so final version will feature not-Mr. Saturns etc), removal of related music, and downgrading itself from a MOTHER fangame to yet another "quirky Earthbound-inspired RPG". Also the aforementioned monetary cost, likely the move wasn't in fear of DMCA at all and it was so they could turn a profit off of it. I can't begrudge them for wanting to sell their work but I can begrudge them for it (provided they're charging for it at all) for advertising it as a free game, then thinking a rebrand makes people forget you promised it for free.

oh…

Junko is the mom we all deserve.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

Anyone who thought this is a massive faggot.

Do you think Nintendo really gives a fuck about any of that? It doesn't matter that it's not popular, it doesn't matter it's made form scratch, it doesn't matter if it didn't have a release date. Nintendo would have eventually had enough and swatted that shit out of the sky. The devs did what all fangame devs should do: fuck being a sequel, make it your own thing. Even if "own thing" in this case is just a name change on paper. It's better off not being Mother 4 because for some reason that got people's autism in an awful tizzy over "it doesn't deserve to be Mother 4." Why anyone gave a shit about what "deserves" what is beyond me, so hopefully now people will bitch less about that. A real Mother 4 will never exist so what does it matter?

And if that means they're going to sell it, whatever, good for them. The Freedom Planet people did the same thing, worked out fine. You can pirate it anyway, and probably will, won't you? Because I will.

A small question: all these people who make fangames which work pretty much the same way but don't have the rights to the characters in them…
Why don't they just use placeholder Original the Characters and lingo, release the basic game like that and provide a free mod for it on some other website that replaces the newcomers with the real deal?
Wouldn't that circumvent all the pain in making free fangames and having Nu-tendo fuck them in the asshole for being hobbyists instead of soulless consumers?
