Old Game Revival?

Hello! I'm glad this is recent, because I've been wanting to ask, even if there is low potential for EA to bring back Mermaid World, what potential is there for a fan recreation of it to be successful? I am willing to work on recreating this game and releasing it, potentially on Steam or Itch.io, but I know that with the acquisition of Crowdstar by EA, there are rules regarding fan games or game recreations. My question is, does that apply to games that can't be played anymore, such as Mermaid World, since the game's servers were shut down? I feel like this might still fall under the Be Original section of the EA Content Policy, which I would understand if that means I couldn't recreate the game, but I know lots of people including myself would love to play this game again, and since this is such an old game, I'm unsure if this still applies. I just wouldn't want to do all the work of recreating it just to get a takedown notice. Thanks in advance for your help!
