So go ahead screw yourself over and make your crappy remakes and crappy ideas, oh wait - not your ideas.
Since that was on page 1, I'll just quote it again.
Both Lazarus and the U6 project
vastly expanded the worlds of Ultima V / VI, added lots of new quests / dungeons and even featured hundreds of new portraits. You're obviously totally clueless about the difference between an App store clone (hello China!) and a
faithful re-imagining and updating of a beloved part of your childhood memories. So far the only "ape" here is your vast ego and ignorance clashing in a titanic black hole of fucking muppetry. It's beautiful to watch
Back to general advice - if a product is either no longer sold, or available only through specialist services (GoG, basically), a generally good idea would be a legal disclaimer along the lines of the Lazarus one - I'll edit it slightly
Ultima V: Lazarus <Your Mod here> is being produced completely nonprofit by a group of avid Ultima <Game> fans who call themselves "Team Lazarus." <Your title>. Lazarus <Your title> will be available for users who own a copy of Gas-Powered Games' Dungeon Siege** <Larian Studio's Divinity Original Sin>, the engine we're modding. Dungeon Siege <Divinity: Original Sin> will be required because <Our title> is a Siegelet <Mod> for it and we do not own the rights to the Dungeon Siege <Divinity: Original Sin> engine...
** Dungeon Siege is developed by Gas-Powered Games (GPG). <Divinity: Original Sin is developed by Larian Studios>
<Insert all the trademarks and legal ownership and so on, don't skip anyone>
Ultima V: Lazarus <Our title> is a fan-built recreation for Ultima V <Game> and is not affiliated in any way with Origin Systems, Inc. <Original Studio / publisher> or Gas-Powered Games <Larian Studios>.

Obviously, replace all the legal trademarks & copyright with whatever you're doing.
However - really obvious one here: don't expect to be able to launch World of Warcraft - episode III (or whatever) and get away with it. General rule of thumb is that if the IP is active, forget it, and
do your research on how active / protected your IP is. e.g. remakes of Baldur's Gate etc would likely run into problems given they're currently sold as "remastered" on Steam (itself a massive con, given the
free fan made mods do the same thing, but better and were around long before); Star Wars / Kotor will get an instant spank (unless the force is with you) and so on and so forth.
A good example other than the ones I've already linked to are the Vampire: Masquerade mods / patches.
Ignore the muppet, but be sensible.
And don't even
consider charging for it.
