I have to rant.

Every time I see comments on news about this (they keep coming up on my Facebook feed so I can't easily avoid them) I keep seeing people either saying I shouldn't be porting Zelda or I'm stupid for doing so.

FFS, I'm not even really porting it, I'm just using a tiny part of an open source fangame (one that's existed for years on OS4 Amiga and numerous other platforms without Nintendo being dicks about it) as kind of a test/experiment/tutorial thing.

Edit: It just feels like I can't try to do a moderately cool thing for Amiga without people having people being dicks about it :/
