@3rosione 9 ай бұрын

i am italian, and being a game developer myself and having worked with other italian devs over the past i can assure you that this is the type of mentality most people have in regards to making a videogame. they think that making a game means "making it big" economically, the money side of things is the main driving motive. no passion whatsoever, or very little anyway. people here REALLY think that "making a game" equals to making a shit ton of money really quick and a rare thing that you can brag about. if you say you "make games" for a living or in your spare time, people are amazed and look at you with crazed eyes. it is very uncommon, therefore people don't comprehend it. and when they find out about the business side of things, they suddenly want to make one. i'm pretty certain the thought process the devs for the venatur game had was like "hey there's a free game on steam, probably means we CAN steal what's inside of it since it's free i guess. nobody's gonna know right? it is free so who gives a shit anyways. there is a load of other crappy/indie fps games on steam, who cares."

The problem is that legal fees suck up any monetary advantage you can gain and the process can take years especially since these guys are in another country.

These kind of disputes are typically between companies. The winner in court usually gets "all" profits made using stolen property/design and requires a hefty damages fine. The way these developers act is like a HR manager caught lying. Full of apology and friendship. Yet avoiding solving the problem. They entirely deserve to be sued and put out of business. Not only for the theft itself. But also for how consistently they try to take zero ownership of this having occured. None of their behavior speaks of any professionalism to the trade. You deserve every cent of their stolen money, legally.

Man this resonates even though I'm younger. We recently found out that the IT guy for our webserver and business, the guy was a fraud... dragging everything, making up and even creating hurdles just for wanting money left and right for various different reasons that we were not aware of (can't blame dad, 50 y'o man who grew up without tech and is more a crafty/handy man). I talked to an old friend of mine, describing the situation and I found out it is a very common thing especially in tech and it's getting worse and worse. -_- We said screw this, I'm learning everything from the scratch, on my own, dropping everything just to learn and get better just to have our own agency and control. You can't trust people these days especially with tech and once business is in involved it get's even more absurd. What hurts me the most is I was so passionate, looking up to the guy and wanting to learn and improve, I was not aware how stupid I was for thinking like this because I always value people knowing more than me, but seriously f that... "The older I got, the smaller my circle of friends got." this for real, only need few few people who have proven themselves to be there and those are enough you don't need more, a year or two ago I used to have my addlist and notifications full of "friends", they're all gone now and rightfully so, other than wasting your time they're no good for anything. But appreciating the good ones and keeping them close is the right way. I enjoy getting older honestly, the more I learn the better I feel not to repeat the same mistakes.

My studio had the exact same experience. The artist tried to argue with me that the work he produced was all original even though he turned around 120 assets in 2 days. They were clearly digitized photos with filters applied and he was adamant that I didn’t need to worry about licensing of any images. I found the original images for 6 of the assets and when presented, he still denied it and actually still tried to invoice me. I paid him $100 and had my lawyers send him a notice stating that we refuse any and all work he submitted and he alone is responsible for any legal action the original rights owners might take against him. I never heard from him again. We had other problems with freelance artists but nothing that blatant again.

They even offered us a share of the revenue, but we did not take that deal as it was more reactive than a proactive agreement.

"these are legally our assets" "nuh uh' - but in all seriousness what they're doing is super scummy and it's honestly sad that they don't have the basic human decency to admit when they're in the wrong, but you're handling it so much better than me and so many other people would be able too, keep it up and dont let the doubters get you down

It is 100% this mentality that after a certain amount of money that a person or company has, they are automatically evil and therefore theft/piracy becomes valid and justified. Except, the more we as society pretend that piracy is somehow justified against mega-developers, why would piracy not become justified against other developers, even those who are small? For example, I see artists online who have no problem defending the piracy of movies and video games, but the second their art work on patreon is used for free, or AI art is trained on their art, we are supposed to feel bad? Theft is theft is theft. If theft is justified for large corporations, theft is justified for sole proprietors.

you are right about this problem being representative of society as a whole. this may seem unrelated, but tangent warning: i was a musician when i was much younger, early 2000's napster era. I consistently took the side of keeping music licensed, only for distribution by artist approved mechanisms (if they want it free, of course its fine) but that doesnt make ALL music free. I ran into very similar arguments and attitudes that you describe here. Who cares. It's just 1s and 0s bro. Hur durr I'm a pirate I'm so edgy. These are people that have never created anything, and never worked on anything, therefor they do not know the real value it has to the creator. They just see the world a series of things they can steal and manipulate, and just get angry when people try to prevent them from it. It's like a child who throws a fit in a grocery store when the mom tells them they can't just take the candy right off the shelf. These people literally never learned that lesson. It's society. It's echo-chambers on the internet where these people get together and reinforce their own mindset that this is OK. It's bad parenting. It's an intricate web of factors, which of course varies individual to individual; not the least of which is a large segment of society does not know what hard work is, does not know who it's like to create something themselves (so the do not know the value) and does not understand the degree to which society SUPPORTS them because they contribute nothing - so naturally they think they are OWED everything they can imagine. Entitlement. Either way, excellent video. Good luck. on aside: you are right to consider legal action. use it. it's not as expensive as a lot of people are making out, and when you are in the right (which you are) you will be able to recover your costs from them. source: work in law

It feels like there's an anonymous scammer in between who scams both ways or they themselves have been the 'mysterious middleman' all along. A: A thief steals a Painting and sells it to someone else: The Buyer 'unknowingly' committed a crime, but can still be held legally accountable (the buyer didn't do his due diligence by i.e. not doing a background/credibility check of the seller/thief) B: I want someone else's Painting but I'm not willing to pay for it so I either hire a thief to put the blame on or I do the stealing myself while making up a non existent persona called 'the thieve' to deceive from my theft. In any case the person who ends up with the painting in the end - be it buyer or thief - is to some degree legally accountable.

This is sickening.. I completely agree with you. Give them the reality check they obviously need. Slap them with the law book and make a big example out of them and then put up as many videos of the legal process as you possibly can. This is illegal and we all know it. Even they do as well. Hence the mental gymnastics.

They have a contract with the person behind it. And, the game requires you sign an agreement (EULA) in which IF YOU DON’T, is piracy. And so, if you sign it, is also illegal to take those assets.

You'll most likely need to retain a lawyer in Italy and send out a cease and desist letter, it will cost money but you'll either scare them off and they will remove the assets or they will continue and you'll have a case on your hand that you'll need to follow up. Either way it's gonna cost you some money, and most likely will end with them just running off unless you pursue them for everything which means fighting them in court internationally. DMCA and cease and desist is your best bet.
