I'm glad it's only the modding section of the gaming industry that is blatantly into copying. Otherwise all these commercial games would be remakes of a few good games leaving hardly any room for new great titles.
Oh, wait. You're being serious? That's very cute.
The naivety required to type that out is just... *phew*, but I'll let Forbes speak for me:
Last week, Electronic Arts ($EA) sued Zynga ($ZNGA) for copyright infringement because Zyngaç—´ å…¸he Ville game allegedly takes too much of EAç—´ 鉄ims Social game. Lawsuits like these are rare in the games industry, for good reason. Imitation of other manufacturers games is standard in the industry, and every major industry player does it frequently. As my peer Prof. James Grimmelmann wrote, éhe [games] industry has developed a dysfunctional culture of copycattery. Forbes 2012 I'm not even going to touch the quagmire that is modern FPS development.
Frankly: stick to drawing anime. Community College =/= the reality of game development.
