Fans really like making stuff based on the games they love. We feature fan-made videos, costumes, artwork, and more here at Kotaku pretty much every day. The companies that make the games that fans love, though, are not exactly always eager to see third parties profiting off of their copyrighted work.https://www.kotaku.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/16/pgroup-googlepublishercentre-kotbrandmark.png?quality=7510001080
