It's infringement and it's fine that the content owners send out their C&D's. I doubt there is any malice, though. I seems more like they just loved the game and want it to continue in some form than they are trying to get attention.
That is the incentive behind all the remakes, but it doesn't change anything. In life, intent doesn't mean much. It can be a slap in the face sometimes as well. Besides, commercial intent is inevitable when they start to grow.
You are not correct on this one. Intent is greatly meaningful in life and under the law. Commercial intent with a derivative work is not inevitable, nor is their growth inevitable.
