Paradoks: What I mean is, even if this is reverse engineered (from what I've read - it is), then still, WB had to give some form of approval for this. Otherwise, this project may end up not coming to fruition because of WB lawyers.
With Atari holding the rights to publish/distribute the game, I don't believe WB can contest that even though they have the rights to the IP. But, I'm definitely not a rights lawyer and I'm not going to try and play one on the internet, so anything similar to what you theorize could possibly halt Night Dive's effort. One person to ask (and who might willingly provide information) would be Night Dive's CEO, Stephen Kick (@pripyatbeast on Twitter).
