Even the ones that are legally OK get that treatment. I've been following a X-Com-inspired project for a while (Xenocide), and in the years it's been in development, at least two of the main programmers were hired by gaming publishers. EA and Ubisoft, if I recall properly. Obviously, their contracts stipulated that they could not work on outside projects like this one. Hmm, that’s a pretty good point.

They all claim to be working on a huge project based on something popular (Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Pokémon, Mario, etc...) but they all end up the same way which: <b>Due to a cease and persist e-mail we got from the company XXXXXX, we regret that we have to stop the project, blablablabla</b>. Bulls$%^, there never is a project, it's just some attempt to get attention from software companies in order to get a job in programing. They target something popular, get media attention, get recognized and BAM!, they get hired by a company. A genius plan, yes, but it at the cost of being hated by the gaming community :P Forgot to close my HTML, better version here

I really doubt we'll ever see anything from him besides his GameMaker demos.
