These companies don’t give a shit about your passion. They will shut you down or sue you. Put that effort into making your own original game and reap the benefits of your passion.
It’s the same reason people make fan art or fan fiction. it’s a way to develop technical skill without starting from scratch with creative skills you may have no interest in.
It’s totally understandable why people do this, but my advice would be stick to small mods.
As soon as an add on is large enough to be a DLC, or even its own game, big companies are 100% coming after it. Especially if it is a popular game and it gets in all the gaming press like this.
Must be an awkward relationship, though. I don‘t know if I would want that because if I‘m that talented, I wouldn‘t need a job offer from the people that antagonized me.
Stop making “fan projects” 👏
