Spring RTS Engine

Google "gundam doujinshi" and tell me how much japan cares about IP usage after seeing comic after comic of sayla mass pissing and shiting.

and you don't realize they are the same site.

Again, the names don't matter, I was just saying that I was under the impression the ZK guys are trying to replace ALL the ota content stuffs.

It isn't the IP that is the issue. It is the stolen content, it is the fact that it is is effectively taking a game and putting it in another engine.

This debate has gotten so old and stale. There is a big difference between:

Using IP to create a fan work which is a game that does not exist

and

Taking models, art, sounds, scripts, weapons pretty much the game. Putting it in another engine where you mimic the game you stole the content from.

There is a difference between homage and ripoff.

that is still besides the point. I am going to be frank, you lot have had the conversation in other threads. Don't fucking muck my thread up with it. You lot can go post whatever hte fuck you want on indiedb/moddb, I am not stopping you, just trying to give you guys some kind of heads up.

I am really tired of it, this is not a joke

none of it matters because that was not the topic of the thread and you guys happily derailed it. ANY TIME I try to get something productive going someone has to derail the effort. where are the moderators? nowhere? I reported posts and made requests for a split.

uhm, all i see in here is ta ip blub, so more like [off topic]?

Don't get so fed up Smoth, nobody cares about TA or Gundam IP except like 5 CA devs (or ZK I guess) and a couple forum old-timers. Less than 1% of Spring players give a shit about IP, and the owners of the IP care even less.

do you not actually check up on anything joe

activision is currently on a spree of lawsuits over IP ownership

bandai is suing the shit out of pirates as we speak, and has a history of lawsuits pertaining to their property

where are you getting these numbers from, you sound like a politician :/ its almost as if you believe these rules over intellectual property is some sort of self-imposed shackle that we've put on ourselves; the reality is that you're perfectly welcome to ignore any laws you like but for people actually working on games, or hosting the spring website, or firing any sort of length of time or effort into a project, IP infringement is a very real and troublesome obstacle for fan works. nobodys going to get sued here but a C&D is a very real threat if bandai or activision or whoever got wind of a -popular- game that infringed on their property in such a way that it blocked them from profiting in some way.

stop saying retarded shit with no basis. do some research before you draw sweeping conclusions

also whoever edited this thread... way to make a mess
