Assault Rifle, Mtar X, Ghost Ripper & GM4?? these guns came from different games... Mtar & Ghost Ripper were guns from CoD Ghost along with the GM4 being a player suggestion weapon from LoneWolf while the Assault Rifle is an MA5 series that came from Halo... were these plagiarized? are there other weapons out there that came from different games?
Not to meantion Ion Carbine, Saber, Five sevens and many more.
They're all copyrighted.
I don't think Snk gives a shuck.
They don't care as long as Unixmad has his money pool
Yeah if Era was caught red handed they would be screwed.. But the money to be made and the effort it would take to file something against a relatively small-time app would give the prosecutors enough money to afford an expensive dinner...
For two. They make the money that they would get off of Era in 10 minutes by doing pretty much nothing.
I don't think a guns name are copyrighted...Quote:

(I just Google this for like 5 mins so feel free to correct me XD)
Ion Carbine specifically originated from Starwars and Five sevens from CoDQuote:

most guns that are in cod/csgo/whatever other game are mostly modeled off of actual guns, then modified a tad bit
Nice Maze Runner reference. I love those books.Quote:

Either that or a share of all the profit from Era consumers would be transferred to the copyright owners. Add that to the fact that iTunes gets a share as well. Barley any profit to be made.Quote:

Ion carbine was an original design. Guns aren't copyrighted as they are all based on real guns. Gm4 is just an m4 with a silencer than ghosts wanted to make sound fancy. Mtarx is a real gun. Ghost ripper is the only slightly original gun ghosts made but yea it doesn't count as "copyright" as the guns are inspired from them and not directly ripped from the actual game.Quote:

Five sevens from cod are based off the FN57 which is a real gun lol... Cod didn't design the fn57 that is used in real life. Same way games like battlefield have guns like the ACR but rename it to things such as the ACWR in order to avoid copyright.Quote:

If they're real guns, they have a trademark, and the licensing for that is required. Even guns that look similar are subject to trade-dress infringement which can be applied to any case if reasonable suspicion of copyright infringement is identified. Multiply that by the fact that by Graal defending itself from huge companies and it could be shut down in a jiffy.
Well i'm yet to see any independent game get shut down or brought to court for those reasons. Gun manufacturers make more than enough money to need to care about developers recreating their guns.Quote:

I was jokingQuote:

I'm just saying, let's hope one of them doesn't have a bad day and track some small time games to shutdown just cause they feel like doing so.
I still don't think thats fair....
If they want to create a gun, they must create it with their ideals...
Chainsaw gun= Gears of War

modified or not, they are still copyrighted
If you have noticed a copyright infringement tell me or Vendhin about it
