Original author approval

See also: original author scorn

It is very common for things to get licensed and the original author only kept as backup for when the licensee can't think of something to do with the material instead of actively consulting them (and actually listening) to them, thus producing games that may be something the original author does not find agreeable or having anything to do with the original work except for the name.
