More successful games are not free games, their success is a complete business operation. Pay and play games. I never heard that they would be free.
Free games will earn only a few hundred dollars (or even less). The author might as well go to a pizza shop to work.
This consumption mode will only allow players to treat the game with a more arrogant attitude, and refuse to pay for various reasons.
Paying before playing the game is to respect the work of the author, just like eating in a restaurant.
It's a bad idea to decide whether to pay after eating all the food.
Our game producers are not beggars. It's normal to pay for games. I don't think we should complain. If you feel sad about paying, you can choose free games. I've seen many people who support piracy think that the game does not require payment, which is absurd. It will not be affirmed.
I will never be able to upload the game's ZIP file, and I am prompted with an error.
Have you used Facebook or Google or Twitter upload components or scripts?
If so, it will prevent some countries from uploading games.
I hope you can revise it. Otherwise, it would be a bad thing.
If you use online disks such as Dropbox or Mega as storage and sharing media, the upload will also fail. VPN is required to access it.
Because they will show 404 in my country.
Your webpage can be directly logged in without VPN, but I can't understand why the upload function is like this. Can't your own programmers do something?
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?
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
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.
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
A ridiculous theory
It is obviously the fault of the overlord clause. I am surprised by your attitude of shirking responsibility.
Just like those hooligans, [I just don't modify them. If you don't like them, go away.]
Very good.
In addition, don't ask me to go to GOG. They also have such overlord clauses. Including Patreon.
I don't think this rating is meaningful on the Internet, because games can be downloaded and purchased at will. It can't verify what age people or children bought adult or pornographic content.
If it is a physical CD, the seller can verify the age of the other party (only need to submit the ID card).
In addition, I think that if there is too much adult content, this website will be blocked by many countries because it violates the minor protection law.
The best way is to lock the areas that do not accept porn so that they cannot access pornographic content. Only 16+(or less) content is open to these countries.
That's what STEAM does.
Who said I agreed? In fact, I don't agree to authorize the development of derivative works, because if you want to promote the game, you don't need to develop derivative works at all. Derivative works include recreated works, including adapted works, including the production of toys around the works, which are of high commercial value. It is impossible to authorize arbitrarily.
I suggest that the platform should set up a zone for centralized management of adult games, and set up a regional IP lock for these games to prevent access to these contents by countries that do not recognize pornographic games. Otherwise, the website will be completely blocked by these countries in the near future, and they cannot even buy ordinary games. Many authors will lose a lot of income.

Many of us wanted to launch games to ITCH, but we were sorry to see the overlord terms of the ITCH platform.
Derivative works are very bad because they distort the original works.
It is illegal to make derivative works for sale without the authorization of the author.
Compulsory authorization is also unreasonable.
It violates the fairness and justice of the contract.
What we need is respect rather than coercion,
which will cause the author's aversion,
Not everyone wants their works to be used to make other things(Because we are not Japanese authors).
This backward and disgusting clause should be deleted as soon as possible.
In order to prevent individuals or companies from using bad means to obtain the right to create derivative works,
I have taken strong measures to protect game pictures, music and other materials.
You will see that they have been added with mosaics.
No drama animation and original music will be played, only free materials.
Such measures will always be maintained on the platform with mandatory requirements.
It's not my fault, it's the fault of the overlord clause, and I won't apologize.
You can see how bad the hegemonic clause has brought.
It can even destroy the future of a game.
Because it would make people want to draw a Disney Mickey Mouse and make the authorized party sued by Disney.
The platform side should give the author the freedom to choose, rather than command the author to authorize (for example, the command game cannot add DRM).I would rather release a work for free than see it polluted.
If the platform respects the author enough, I would be happy to put the original game on the platform.
But it is impossible now. It is definitely not the paradise of independent games that many people say.
