      Id say it’s more nuanced. The game is theirs? Some might say they stole their work… But the game is theirs and they never contracted or even gave permission for the work to be completed? I’d say it’s unethical still since they have the resources to accomplish this on their own.

      “Stolen” isn’t the right language to use for something that’s been intentionally made available free to anyone who wants it.

        It’s not the right language for copyright infringement either, but it still gets used.
