If you're talking about cloning the game data, then this would be a
more direct infringement than mise-en-scene.
The one case to make a significant point involving mise-en-scene
had a massive amount of new game data which was meant to
be integrated with the existing game data, thus creating a "sequel".
There was more going on than that, of course, but it was literally
a new game put together using art and resources provided by
Formgen, but being marketed and sold by Microstar. (Without
a license from Formgen.) Mise-en-scene was used to explain
why the work was a protected work even though all Microstar
was selling was the changes.
