   I don’t think reverse engineering a commercial game is legal. I don’t know if it is right or wrong, or if anyone can stop it.

      Up to this point, it has never been actively stopped. Except for Take Two with the PS2 GTA games, but that was a cease & desist, so it's not determined as "illegal" either. I think that it's legal as long as you're not decrypting stuff, but my understanding may be limited.

         Is that one of those "I know I can't win in court but you can't afford a legal defence" type of things?
