>It's really easy to come up with a game worth playing. Cloning is incredibly easy. What a silly thing to say -- if you clone a game, you haven't "come up" with it. Pretty much everything you say is important if you want to market a game to people, or you want people to enjoy it. But game design is something separate from that -- much like writing the script for a movie is separate from actually producing it. It just happens that scripts are protected by copyright law, while game design isn't.
