Funny. If I were afraid of being banned, I wouldn't speak here

Also, I will video all the discussions here. If I am banned, people in my country can see it. This will prove your attitude.

I explained from the very beginning that we refused to accept such a hegemonic clause. Because of our attitude, many domestic platforms have respected our decision. They remove derivative works as an optional option, or allow authorization (just tick the checkbox).

You mentioned STEAM. I don't think STEAM is that bad. At least the derivative works of creative workshops can be closed and prohibited.

If you are just a game writer or audience, please shut up, because your explanation is only to annoy me, not to make the problem better.

thank you

That's funny. You don't "believe". Let's see what the Steam ToS have to say:

When you upload your content to Steam to make it available to other users and/or to Valve, you grant Valve and its affiliates the worldwide, non-exclusive right to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, transcode, translate, broadcast, and otherwise communicate, and publicly display and publicly perform, your User Generated Content, and derivative works of your User Generated Content, for the purpose of the operation, distribution, incorporation as part of and promotion of the Steam service, Steam games or other Steam offerings, including Subscriptions. This license is granted to Valve as the content is uploaded on Steam for the entire duration of the intellectual property rights.

And that's from the Subscriber Agreement, i.e. for what you post there as a user. Never mind if you publish a game with them.

OK, if this is true, STEAM is also a bad platform.

I will not take sides with any overlord clause. Thank you for your reminding.

However, I have many ways to deal with bad platforms. I can create bad junk games and put them on those platforms. Because the resources in the game are public resources purchased from the mall (not things I create), I will not worry about any derivative works.
