In addition to recognizing that the copyright belongs to the author, some foreign platforms require the author to authorize all other rights. Isn't that a hegemonic clause? And what is free? You forced me to authorize you for free. What can you give the author in return? If it is zero return, why should I put the game on this platform?
Many platforms try to squeeze the value of authors, force them to compromise and endure silently, but we are not such people. We will say FUXK to this behavior.
On the contrary. If you don't give itch.io a license to distribute your game... then itch.io is legally forbidden from doing that. So the license grant is absolutely necessary if you want to put a game on the site. If you don't like that, okay. It's your right. But nobody's trying to cheat you, steal from you or anything. So please stop this already, you're annoying people.
You have seriously misunderstood what I said. I said that what I hate is making other products based on my works, such as toys and other adaptations. Or make my original characters into pornographic cartoons or movies or another version of pornographic games. My country does not allow pornography, including authorizing foreigners to produce pornographic works, or I will be arrested.
I do not prohibit the platform from copying a copy of the game for sale and distribution. This is the point of divergence.
I have pointed out at the top that derivative works have a very broad meaning. If you just want to copy and distribute works, I will not stop it. What I prevent is to use the definition of derivative works to make other adaptations of the game and make money from it. Do you understand? Please do not mislead others.
If the platform requires a copy, please make clear, rather than using such disgusting words as derivative works. thank you
Derivative works, in this case, means for example a cropped or resized screenshot. Things like that. It's not about merchandise or the like. You're making stuff up. Also, you did not explain clearly what you mean, and you've been rude to a lot of people by now, who were only trying to help. Can we end this conversation already?
I find that you are distorting the meaning of derivative works. If you specifically refer to adapting the size of pictures or using the promotional video of the game, you can add a bracket to explain it (and limit the scope of authorization), but there is no explanation. I have reason to think that it includes a series of operations such as "re creation", "adaptation", "code modification", and "toy creation".
You're the only one in the world who gets angry? Can't I be angry as a writer?
