Oh!Edo Towns by Kairosoft for iOS and Android is pretty cool, although I only played the demo. tl;dr historical Japanese Sims.
Kairosoft also has Game Dev Story which I also liked (based on the demo alone). I think the majority of their games are sim-like, actually.

Turned 19 on the 9th. Now I can legally drink maple syrup.

I think it's cool that the folks over 25 are active in gaming and game communities.

I just said that you can't unless you're the copyright holder...?

You actually can't unless you're the copyright holder. I've tried reporting video reuploads.

I'm going to because in all likelihood they did not receive permission, and because the Artwork feature is for original content. You don't have to, that's your choice. You won't convince me to follow suit.

asking for help and answering ridicule/questions from an artist's perspective = holy crusade
ok

tl;dr this is how the majority of artists feel http://purplekecleon.tumblr.com/post/31671844275/how-to-give-proper-credit-to-artists-without
if you're not getting credit, you're not making print sales, commissions, etc

I never specified where I am trying to spread awareness. I posted here for help in getting stolen work taken down. If it bothers you, then don't participate. What is the issue.

You can do whatever you want to do, and so can I. What I want to do is spread awareness that people are not entitled to use any image they find on the internet in any manner they please, that art has value, and that the artist has value.

That's making the assumption that the artist doesn't care, which you can't know unless you ask them. I would care if someone uploaded my work, and regardless of what any party thinks, the Artwork feature is for self-created content which is inarguable.

Only one dude gave credit, almost all thieves do not.

Not being a cunt to artists or Steam doesn't seem dorky to me but w/e

#16 I notified Big Green Pepper of that upload, and it was clear that BGP had not given anyone permission to upload their work. Credit makes it loads better, but the lack of permission and ignoring the user responsibility to only upload original content is still there.

The thing is, that checkbox and the words next to it equal one short, easily understood sentence, whereas Terms of Service is a lot of shit most people don't or are unwilling to try to understand. That doesn't make one more right than the other, however.

Understanding fair use vs copyright infringement and adhering to the rules is a huge part of business in the real world. That is my realism injection.

The closest example I can think of is recycling. If everybody said, "fuck it" we'd be a lot worse off than we are right now.

No one's forcing you to participate, though.

That doesn't mean the artwork should stay up. Ignorant theft is still theft.
