Oh please, now you're just being ridiculous.

ALO uses a different version of the same system SAO used, but that's it. Aincrad itself wasn't copied into ALO, and ALO is still a different game, with different themes too (mainly, far more Fantasy. And people can fly).

How is that macabre?

It's just efficient, practical, does no harm. And same system =/= same game.

Also, checking my sources again, the actual remake of SAO/Aincrad, was in Hollow Realization. Which is a videogame, as in, an actual videogame, and the SAO games have a different continuity which some could argue is better than canon (Yuuki lives and can learn how to Dual Wield, for example).
