From what I can gather its not a non commercial project though. They asked for donations....Huh, I thought non-commercial fan projects didn't need approval from the publisher/developer.
In before hexer receives a C&D email from Bethesda.
Well fuck.
It's a fan project and they are not going to be charging for it. It costs CCP nothing to let it continue - they are not doing anything with the bloody licence anyway. The only way killing this will protect their intellectual property is by making it even more worthless.
They are asking for donations
If I'm not mistaken, they did contact both Activision and CCP.if they didnt ask for permission to use copyrighted anything then fair enough i guess, a bit of manners goes a long way
It's unlikely the donation sum was worth more than a few lawyer hours.
garren You were saying?
Shockingly, the best company for allowing remakes and fan sequels of old games is none other than Electronic Arts, who even allow projects that use their competitors' engines (Dungeon Siege, Freespace 2, etc).
Donation doesn't have any basis and therefore no relation to anything. It's just that - I offer you money and expect nothing in return. The fact that they were also making something that has to do with Bloodlines is unrelated, at least in the eyes of the law, as far as I know. I normal countries, that is.That does not matter. They were profiting off of CCP's established license without permission.

I don't understand why CCP cares at all since they completely cancelled their WOD project. What are they going to do? Sit on the license forever and shut down anyone's efforts to release anything similar to World of Darkness properties? This is just fail all around, and the result is no game released anywhere.
Actually, yes.I don't understand why CCP cares at all since they completely cancelled their WOD project. What are they going to do?

Also kind of sad CCP took over White Wolf and every single person is being put on creation of future Eve Online materials.
I'm so disappointed. Are these CCP people idiots? I don't get it. What do they gain by doing this?
