I can sympathize with that to a certain extent but this just seems like a shameless cash grab to me. It's one thing to take good ideas and build on them, it's another to repackage them just enough that the main goal is avoiding copyright issues.
Cash grab or not. They got the formula down for a fun game. Good for them.
ScarVio and SwSh were shameless cash grabs, especially ScarVio. Gamefreak is insanely lazy now. I’m totally cool with a company jockin their style and making a game that’s more fun (and runs above 10FPS)
They've been in development like 3 years now, I wouldn't call it a cash grab.

This has been in early access for like 4 years now and people seem to have given up on getting much support for it. Maybe I'm overly cynical after many Epic experiences but I don't trust them :shrug: I'll reconsider if it's still going strong and actively being supported in a year or so.
Yeah, see if it gets updates a few months from now. Chances are they got most of the money they are ever gonna make of it already. So, just move on to the next cash grab, I guess?
