    So basically he only needs the rights and it’s ready for release? Wonder how hard that’ll be to accomplish

      I suppose that they could release it for free as an open-source project and not brother with all of that

        No, they’d still need IP rights for the characters/world/name. Releasing it for free doesn’t alleviate that issue in any way.

        They could strip it of all of the Simpsons related stuff, but they’d also have to create new levels, since those are owned by the epriginal publisher.

          And if a company wants to fuck with you, it can sue you anyway over minor likeness until it exhaust you from money to attend hearings.

          Yep. There would be a line of lawyers at that guys door the next day to ruin his entire life. I’m surprised they haven’t already. Would love to play it but unless there is a “leak” it’s not happening.
