Parody is protected. There have been a few made.
How many fan/parody games have made it to light instead of being C&D’d?
Parody is protected, but not when you have vastly more expensive lawyers who will bully you into compliance.
Hundreds, I would estimate.
Can you provide a single one?
Yes? Unless you’ve been living in a box this is not a surprise:

You’ve also got Saints Row, which parodies GTA pretty well.
None of those are parodies of games……
And no saints row and rustler aren’t parodies, those are games in the same genre. You don’t think just because a game is a same genre it makes it a parody does it…?
Decent video on how it’s one sided against fans
The title says: Grand Theft Horse. The description says:
“DISCLAIMER: Any elements of the game “Rustler” that are inspired by elements of the pop culture are to be seen a parody or caricature.”
Why does it have to be a parody only of games? Parody in general is protected, as the games show.
Saints Row is a parody, as confirmed: https://screenrant.com/best-parody-video-games/
Uhh… because that’s what we were talking about here….?
Where does it say it’s a parody of GTA…?
And that proves nothing but another person has your opinion, the only way to prove it would be a source from the developer, but that won’t exist since if they say it, they would be cease and desisted.
It was a parody of GTA when it was announced and shown, as everyone said when we saw it.
We were talking about parody, but okay. They were all games parodying people and other things but apparently isn’t good enough for you.
