Nothing wrong with having strong feelings about it, and I totally get your perspective.

The only reason I'm on the fan creator's side slightly is because some good things have come out of the fan community, and usually developers are extremely laid-back about it. Square Enix's "Because We Can" shut down with absolutely no plans of their own was really backhanded both with Crimson Echoes and with Chrono Ressurection.

Yeah they're more than fine doing what they want, but it's been in my experience that C+Ds are usually sent out when they're already planning on doing something of their own, see Halo Wars/Halogen. It's all the more asinine when you tack on SE's dogged insistence that one of the greatest jRPGs of all time with a high-selling, high-scoring (by websites anyway) sequel and a very respectably-selling port to two different systems just doesn't deserve their attention.

EDIT: Basically this is much much lower than the usual developer C+D fare, and it sticks out.
