Ok, this is not directed at Grey Alien, but this is directed at those who clone games and come up with excuses. I mean seriously you dont need an excuse :) Finishing a game and making money off of it is a GOOD thing not a BAD thing :)
What annoys me is when people clone a game and then say they aren't cloning anything, or when someone says "All games are clones one way or another, I'm just the same" :P -That's true, but it doesn't excuse soemone who clones a game that just came out a month ago. Instead just embrace the cloning behavior and be proud of your accomplishments and be proud that you are making money. Afterall, that's what business is about is it not?
New Graphics and sound are enough to make the game excluded from copyright infringement in my humble opinion, and I dont think game mechanical changes are required to make a sellable clone - wait, they aren't ;)
If you think about it though: This is what happens in free-market industries though, you see it happening in the music industry, the car industry, and the movie industry, etc, etc, etc.
