The game was deemed abandonware years ago now, featuring both on the site myabandonware and on archive.org. There’s no complaints from LEGO itself as a brand since being shared there, but I’ll just remove the link entirely for you since you’re worried!

Honesty I’d agree that it should be allowed, but the EU has a much more strict rules on fair use than most countries has. And as LW is hosted in the EU, that’s the rule we have to follow.

But the jurisprudence made it clear that source code is considered as ok as soon as it does not contain copyrighted materials (original 3d models, music, etc). That why I’d prefer to link directly to the source code.

And if they have a direct link to the playable version of that game on said repository, that’s not our problem anymore 😅.

  Hey, don’t worry! Better safe than sorry, this way at least if people reading are curious and want to find it (and play!) they can search it up, I’d assume. No problems!!!
