There's inspiration, then there's straight up copying. You ripped the PvZ models and made them voxel. You didn't even try making your own.

(+9)

My guy, he just made a 3D version of PVZ. Have you watched his video about it

(-31)

aaaand its not their IP, is it? idk how people think they can do this and get away with it. Then again, it might be because people defend them tooth and nail because 'its fun so who cares'

(+21)(-2)

Kill yourself 🙏

(+4)

what he said

(+9)

Get away with what exactly? It's literally free. It's literally JUST for fun.

(+1)(-25)

ah yes copywrite infringement is totally fine if its free, good message. *shrugs* oh well.

(+4)

You don't like fun. *shrugs* oh well.

(+5)

what i think goes over people's heads is that this is just for fun and a good chance to re-live old days with a twist, its not meant to hurt/demean PVZ, I'm sure the guy woke up and thought "this seems fun, ill make it and see." I get the whole copy right argument, but it really isnt that deep, I dont think hes gonna get rich off of this, so lets just enjoy it. A video i found literally says Plants vs. Zombies with a rougelike twist.  Thats all this is. you seem the type to complain about any good thing in your life.

(+3)

yes because they aren't reselling pvz1 for free they made a different version of the game for fun for free without selling it thats legal dumbass

(-12)

It would be legal if it were a similar game with different models, this being a straight IP rip, is in fact NOT legal. This person is quite lucky the dev(s) of PvZ havent caught on and sued, as is their right

(+3)

its one level that has different mechanics compared to base pvz all you do in it is survive with the given plants until the end of the extremely long level and thats it it is in no way just 3d pvz and you would know if you even opened the game dumbass

(+3)

the creator of this game has never stated that he owns the pvz games nor has he made ANY money from this FAN game so unless the pvz devs themselfs tell him to take it down its not illegal its there ip and they can enforce it how ever they want

(+2)

Someone has never heard of the concept of fan games. Brother would get eaten alive by the Pokemon fanbase.

(+1)

Nintendo Vs. Palworld be like,

(+1)

Don't tell me you actually believe posting these words here would actually bring down the game, or 'awaken' someone... Or you just love being the 'awakened' one.


You think you are protecting EA's interest while they don't even know you exist. And in fact EA is pretty much ruining PvZ's ip value in many ways, while its fan community is trying hard to protect it from fading out. Yes, fan-made content fall easily into copyright infringement, but company benefit from it.

(+4)

people like you are the reason why copyright law is such bullshit, its a fan game and there are many MANY others just like it for just about every ip you can imagine, sure you could be like Nintendo and kill any fan content that even thinks about existing but like why? whats the point your just hurting your self when you do that.  we need more people like Scott Cawthon who encourage fan games to be made

(-9)

I think you're mistaking a fan game with a complete copy. A fan game, while yes, using the same models, often has completely different gameplay or something new to work towards. This is not a 'fan game' its a direct copy.

(+4)

This has to be rage bait, there's no way you classify this as a copy while describing what a fan game is -which clearly encompasses the game that you are currently flaming-.

(+3)

really bending down as low as you can to blow EA, huh?

(1 edit) (+2)

bruh. take the corpo meat out of your mouth, how does your jaw not ache? Fun police over here.

(+2)

ever heard of the concept of a fan creation?

You sound like a reddit mod lol, fuck off.

bro, the game is free you donate money if you want, it doesn't have microtransactions nor adds so you can literally play it without giving a cent, this game is legal even though it is PVZ remade in 3D (which is literally what the author said and, guess what? His video wasn't deleted from youtube because doing that is LEGAL) i couldn't care less about your opinion and if you think that this is inspiration or copying, but this isn't illegal by any norm, and if it were then this game would be banned from itch.io a long time ago.
