Almighty Game Designer Chapter 45: This game won’t get hot

　　Su Jinyu said: "Manager, should we sue this company!"

　　 Jia Peng also nodded: "Yes, the store manager, send a lawyer's letter!"

　　 Chen Mo shook his head: "It's useless."

　　Su Jinyu was stunned: "Why? Store manager, don't be too busy drawing conclusions. Let's ask a lawyer to ask."

　　Chen Mo said: "The use of game rules is difficult to constitute plagiarism. It is best to determine two aspects of game plagiarism. One is the similarity of art resources, and the other is that the text content of the rule document is similar. If neither of these two aspects can be determined Plagiarism, basically, it is difficult to defend rights."

　　"So, even if you send them a lawyer's letter, you will probably be thrown into the wastebasket."

　　Su Jinyu said unconvincedly: "However, this game is too much like "Plants vs. Zombies", anyone with a discerning eye can see it!"

　　 Chen Mo calmly said: "But this is not enough to convict them."

　　Su Jinyu is a little bulging, but there is no way to refute it.

　　 Actually, after crossing into the parallel world, Chen Mo has already done some investigations on the game industry in this world, especially regarding "game plagiarism", and he also searched for several cases.

　　 Similar to the previous life, the parallel world judges game plagiarism mainly in two aspects, one is art resources, music and sound effects, text content, etc., and the other is the basic rules of the game, which is roughly equivalent to the source code of the previous life.

　　 These two aspects are best to confirm plagiarism, as long as you get tangible evidence, you will be sure.

　　 However, it is difficult to determine whether it is plagiarism, precisely for the most critical part of the "gameplay".

　　 In a previous life, the famous board game "Three Kingdoms" once filed a lawsuit against "Three Kingdoms", arguing that "Three Kingdoms" constituted "plagiarism of other people's works."

　　 But "Three Kingdoms" argued that the work done by game designers, including determining the design direction, design framework, and design rules, belongs to the meaning of copyright law and is not the object of copyright protection.

　　 In terms of the rules of the game, "Three Kingdoms Slash" proposed that the whole design idea of ​​"Three Kingdoms Slash" also imitated the Italian card game "bang!".

　　In the end, this incident came to an end with the grand side withdrawing the lawsuit.

　　 There are many examples of past lives. There are many cases of "reference" and "plagiarism" in the game industry. Except for individual cases where sufficient evidence is available, most of the "plagiarism" is gone.

　　 Of course, this is not all due to the unsound laws. A very important reason is that the boundary between plagiarism and reference is very difficult to define.

　　 Even the famous "Monument Valley" in the past life is suspected of over-borrowing (plagiarism) "Infinite Corridor".

　　 Of course, the so-called "borrowing" is called "plagiarism" if it sounds bad, but it is "inheritance" or "tribute" if it sounds good.

　　 is the same in the parallel world. Although people’s awareness of genuine authenticity and anti-plagiarism is much stronger, they are also easy to infringe, difficult to defend, long litigation time, difficult to prove, time and money costs are high, often As a result, the benefit of the litigant is much lower than the cost.

　　Therefore, there are also some cases of "plagiarism" in the parallel world, and they all end up in the end.

　　Chen Mo took a look at the content of the game "Defense of the Moon". The art resources and music and sound effects were all renovated, leaving no shadow of "Plants vs. Zombies."

　　 In terms of game rules, although it is similar to "Plants vs. Zombies", it is clear that this designer rewritten the design document from beginning to end, and made deliberate changes in many aspects, consciously circumventing the law risk.

　　 It can only be said that this flying limit mutual entertainment company is probably a habitual offender. It is very clear where the legal boundaries are, and it perfectly hit the edge.

　　 Therefore, Chen Mo knows that if he goes to sue, although public opinion is definitely one-sided, it is basically impossible to take advantage of it.

　　……

　　 However, this does not mean that Chen Mo is at a loss as to what he can do. This was already within his expectations.

　　 Chen Mo downloaded the game, entered "Defense of the Moon", and played two levels.

　　 "Don't worry, this game won't become popular." Chen Mo said.

　　 "Huh? Why?" Su Jinyu asked.

　　Chen Mo handed the phone back to Su Jinyu: "You'll know it by playing it yourself."

　　 "Can't get fire? The store manager, are you sure?" Wen Lingwei frowned.

　　 Chang Xiuya also nodded: "Yes, the manager, the graphics of this game are pretty good, and it's free."

　　 Chen Mo confidently said: "I'm sure, the fire won't be over."

　　 Jia Peng hesitated for a moment and asked: "Then, the manager, shall we still review the negative review?"

　　 Chen Mo smiled: "It's all right, it's yours."

　　 Chen Mo finished speaking, turned and walked to the second floor.

　　 "Manager, don't leave, you haven't told me why this game won't become popular yet!" Su Jinyu said.

　　Chen Mo turned around and said, "I have to plan a new game. As for why this game is not popular, you are now a designer, so you should make your own judgment."

　　 Chen Mo went upstairs.

　　Su Jinyu curled his lips a little sullenly, and started playing "Moon Defence".

　　 She is a little curious, why is Chen Mo so determined~IndoMTL.com~The Moon Defense War" is not popular?

　　 Others are also curious.

　　 Jia Peng was puzzled: "The manager seems to be full of confidence, how does he know this game won’t be popular?"

　　 Wen Lingwei said: "Maybe because of ratings. You see, everyone is voluntarily boycotting this game. Even if this kind of word-of-mouth game is free, how many people will play it?"

　　Another boy said: "I think it might be because of this charging method. The store manager didn't use the advertising space charging method when he was doing "Plants vs. Zombies". He must have his own consideration."

　　 Jia Peng hesitated and said: "Then, shall we go to review the bad reviews..."

　　 Wen Lingwei said: "Of course, come, everyone follow me to review bad reviews, uninstall after reviewing!"

　　Su Jinyu thinks everyone makes sense, but I always feel that Chen Mo should have other reasons.

　　Su Jinyu decided to play this "Moon Defense War".

　　 In the first level, the game guides players to arrange an energy supply station on the moon base, and then install an organ turret to defeat the invading Zerg.

　　 In the second level, new zergs began to appear and new defense facilities were unlocked.

　　 The third level is still unlocking new ways to play...

　　 Su Jinyu played through level by level, and when I reached the third level, I already wanted to uninstall the game.

　　 is so similar to "Plants vs. Zombies" that Su Jinyu feels like he is playing the second week of the "Plants vs. Zombies" adventure mode. Many of the content that has been tired of playing for a long time, "Defense of the Moon" also Guiding her to finish in a conscious manner.

　　 "Strange, why the game content is similar to "Plants vs. Zombies" and the game quality is not bad, but I can't play it at all..."

　　Su Jinyu couldn't help thinking.
