Almighty Game Designer

Su Jinyu said, "Shop manager, shouldn't we sue this company? ”

Jia Peng nodded too: "Yes, sir, send a lawyer's letter! ”

Chen Jiao shook his head: “It's no use. ”

Su Jinyu was stunned: “Why? Don't rush to a conclusion, boss. Let's ask a lawyer. ”

“It's hard to learn the rules of the game," said Chan. Game plagiarism is best determined in two ways, one with similar art resources and the other with identical rule document text content. Essentially, it is difficult to defend rights if neither side is certain of the plagiarism. ”

“So if you send them a lawyer's letter, they'll probably throw it in a waste basket. ”

Su Jinyu said uncomfortably: “However, this game is too much like the Botanical War Zombie, as long as it can be seen by all eyes! ”

“But that's not enough to convict them," Chen said calmly. ”

Su Jinyu was a bit of a drummer, but he couldn't refute it.

In fact, after crossing into parallel worlds, Chen Qiao had already done some research on the world's gaming industry, especially regarding the "game plagiarism”, and looked for several cases.

Similar to previous generations, parallel worlds have judged game copying to be two main aspects, one being art resources, music effects, text content, etc., and the other the basic rules of the game document, roughly equivalent to the source code of previous generations.

These two aspects are best identified as plagiarism, as long as tangible evidence is available.

But precisely for the most critical “gameplay" part, it's hard to tell if the plagiarism is plagiarized.

In a previous life, the famous table tour The Three Kingdoms Kill filed a lawsuit against The Three Kingdoms Cut, arguing that The Three Kingdoms Cut constituted “plagiarism of the works of others".

The Three Kingdoms, however, argues that the work done by game designers, including determining design direction, design framework and design rules, is an idea within the meaning of copyright law and is not the object of protection under copyright law.

Simply in terms of the rules of the game, The Three Kingdoms Cut puts forward that the whole design idea of The Three Kingdoms Kill also imitates the Italian card game Bang! ♪, pound a rake. ♪

Ultimately, the incident ended with a grand withdrawal.

There are many examples from previous generations, and the gaming industry's "learning” and “plagiarism” events are all overthrown. Most of the "plagiarism” is no longer possible, except for a few cases where sufficient evidence is available.

Of course, this is not entirely because the law is not sound, and an important reason is that the border between plagiarism and borrowing is in itself very difficult to define.

Even the famous Monument Valley of previous generations is suspected of overdrawing (plagiarizing) the Infinite Corridor.

Of course, the so-called “borrowing” is called “plagiarism," but the nicer word is “inheritance” or “salute.”

The same is true in parallel worlds, where, although the sense of authenticity and anti-copying is much stronger, it is equally easy to infringe, difficult to defend, lengthy proceedings, difficult to prove, costly in time and money, often resulting in litigants' gains being far below cost.

So there are some cases of "plagiarism” in parallel worlds, which ultimately cannot be done.

Chen Jiao roughly looked at the contents of the Moon Defense game, art resources and music effects, all renovated without leaving any shadow of Plant Wars Zombies.

And while the rules of the game are somewhat the same as the Botanical Wars Zombie, it is clear that the designer was a rewritten design document from beginning to end, which was deliberately modified in many ways to consciously avoid legal risks.

It can only be said that this flight-limit reciprocal is probably a recidivism, clearly knows where the boundaries of the law are and plays a perfect edge ball.

So, Chen Jiao knows that if he goes to sue, although he must be on the upside in public opinion, it is basically impossible to take advantage of anything.

……

However, this does not mean that Chen Qiao was unable to do anything about it, which he had long anticipated.

Chen Jiao downloaded the game, entered the Moon Guard War and played it twice.

“Don't worry, this game won't fire.” Chen Jiao said.

“Ah, why?” Su Jinyu asked.

Chen Jiayu handed Su Jianyu his phone back: “You'll see for yourself. ”

“Can't fire? Sir, are you sure?” Wen Lingwei frowned.

Chang Xiuya nodded, “Yeah, the game is pretty good, and it's free. ”

"I'm sure there's no fire," said Chan. ”

Jia Peng hesitated for a moment and asked: "So, manager, are we still going to brush up the bad reviews? ”

Chen Qiao chuckled: “Whatever. Whatever. ”

After Chen Jiao finished, he turned and walked to the second floor.

“Master, don't go, you haven't told me why this game can't fire!” Su Jinyu said.

Chen Jiao turned around and said: "I have to plan a new game. As for why the game can't fire, you are also a designer now, so you should be a little judgmental. ”

Chan is upstairs.

Su Jinyu threw his mouth away a little bit and started playing Moon Defense.

She's a little curious. Why is Chan so sure that the Moon Guard won't fire?

Others are curious.

Jia Peng wondered: “The manager seems confident. How does he know this game won't fire? ”

Wen Lingwei said: “Probably because of the rating. You see, people are spontaneously boycotting this game. How many people would play this reputation, even if it were free? ”

Another guy said, "I think it's probably because of this charging method. The manager didn't charge for the advertising space when he was a Plant Wars Zombie, and he must have his own considerations. ”

”Jia Peng hesitated. 'Well, shall we go and make some bad comments?"

Wen Lingwei said: “Of course go, come on, everyone come with me to brush bad reviews, when you finish brushing, unload! ”

Su Jinyu thinks everyone has a point, but always thinks there should be another reason for Chen Jiao.

Su Jinyu decided to play this Moon Defense Battle.

On the first level, the game guides the player to set up an energy supply station at the Moon base, then install a machine turret to defeat the insect clan that came in.

Second level, new bugs have begun to emerge, unlocking new defenses.

Level 3, still unlocking new games...

Su Jianyu played the game all the time. By the time he played the third level, he already wanted to uninstall the game.

It was so similar to "Plant War Zombies" that Su Jinyu felt like she was playing the second week of "Plant War Zombies" adventure mode. Much of the content had long been tired of playing, and "Moon Defense War" was still guiding her through the process.

“Strange, why is the content of the game so similar to" Plant Wars Zombie "and the quality of the game good, but I can't play it at all...”

Su Jinyu had to think about it.
