Oh good, I didn't wanna be the one to tell you lol. But yes I do, game devs don't rip off other game devs by using controls that are familiar and successful with players though...otherwise it would be possible to say a game dev ripped off another because they both released onto PS4/Xbox One/PC.

Same thing goes with game elements. Checkpoints are commonly used, therefore it isn't really a rip-off. You don't see people complaining that BF4 ripped off COD Ghosts because they both allow you to respawn.

It's more accurate to say I've seen people complain that the MoH reboot is a CoD ripoff, because it uses most of the same game elements. If they only shared "shooting" as the same game element, they'd be very different games.

I sort of agree on some points that Eli has, in that Maxime didn't deserve to have his work taken down simply because he put effort in making FR2 more enjoyable, though without permission, but he probably made CR while thinking that FR3 was never gonna happen. He'll always be the one who took FR2 to the next level though.
Beyond that, I think there are some nice improvements with this site and the admins seem incredibly nice, I can't agree that this site is the devil because it isn't.

The issue was FR2 actionscript code was decompiled and ported 1:1 to javascript without permission to do so, majority of work was still from FR2 (greater than 90%). The big mistake was making an assumption instead of working with the people that have the rights to the game like we are doing with FRHD.

I wouldn't feel to sorry for Maxime, he has profited from Free Rider and continues to do so as Canvas Rider is still producing revenue from ads on the site. He knows he was in the wrong and it is much better than what he is liable for.

We plan to take FRHD to several levels beyond where Free Rider has been, supporting play on any device and multiplayer asynchronous racing already takes it up a couple levels in my opinion but mine doesn't count .

hahaha to say that FRHD is a replacement of CR is so bull. you guys just took all of the ideas (ghosts, checkpoints, no lag) from maxime and called it yours.

no hate though, i still use it, but that's basically what you did.

The reality of the situation is that we have all the right to do just that and more if we desired to do so, calling FRHD the new CR is basically the nicest way we can move forward it is the simplest and clearest statement we have found to move forward.

I am so sorry i am late to this. I quit for 2 years for my own personal reasons and when I came back, canvas rider was linked to fr3. I got teary eyed. You took the first site where detail was truly explored to its potential. The editor was so simplistic and perfect and while I think it is cool what you guys are trying to do I still hate your editor, its too complicated. And I agree with Elibloodthirst i dont believe in you guys taking away canvas rider. And Maxime did more for the game then you guys ever will.
