I think you’re overestimating how creative even creative people are. Quentin Tarentino’s entire career has been remaking other people’s work, for example. There is a lot of room for creativity in copying.
- js8 9y agoNo, I am talking about people who decide to make an exact replica. Sure lot of creativity is remixing, but these people don't want a remix. Take somebody who wrote OpenTTD, open Transport Tycoon clone. It was an exact replica of the original game (later of course people got more creative with it). The same time could have been spent creating, for instance, Stardew Valley. The author didn't decide to make just a Harvest Moon clone. That is roughly a difference between a non-creative project and a creative project.
