Selling a game with thousands of different assets and selling an NFT with someone else's work are very much different things.
IF the NFT is part of the game, it is pretty much the same thing. As I said earlier, I haven't played PsyberX, and I do not own any assets from the game. I can't comment on whether they were part of the game or not.
And hundreds of similar cases on other blockchains back my statements.
Show me these cases, show me that they had proper licensing and they did not just straight up copy the assets without a license. Show me whatever license they had, if they had any.
You are saying the cases are similar, without actually giving those "hundreds of cases" or elaborating why they are similar.
Even though legal issues might seem similar on the surface, the nuances of each issue can make something a violation or not.
BE ETHICAL
Ethics are subjective, whether something you deem ethical, I might deem unethical and vice versa.
If you are here to push an agenda under the guise of "ethics" be my guest. But don't expect everyone to subscribe to that agenda.
And as I said, as long as proper licensing had been followed there is nothing unethical about this.
Let's agree to disagree.
.
Not really. The NFT has the assets as its main focus. And it generates royalties for its creator.
I will put together some examples of those cases as soon as I have more free time. Not hard to find and some are pretty famous.
Even those engaged in criminal activities may perceive themselves as justified. Selling other people's work without credit or compensation is not.
Sure.
I'll await those examples.
Where we disagree is you see NFT as the work, whereas I see the game as the work and NFT to be part of that work.
If credits are given in the game's credit, then it means there were credits given. In a royalty-free license, payment for the license is the compensation.
And anything would be interpreted in a myriad ways as long as it doesn't go to a court, where which interpretation is correct is decided.
As I said many times, I haven't played the game and can't comment on if there were any credits in the game.
I don't agree. But if you want to put it that way, they are not credited.
. . .
If they are not credited in any way, then it is a breach of license for some of the 3D models. At least for the ones where such a clause exists.
