Chapter 0925 - Infringement Again
"So, "Dark Continent" is actually your work?" Wu Guiyuan casually searched the list of developers of "Dark Continent" on the computer, and the first chief designer was Jiang Tai, not Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo's name is behind the executive planning column at the end.
Facing Wu Guiyuan, Chen Shuo lowered his head and continued: "This game was designed by me when I was in college, but it has not been implemented because of realistic conditions. After joining the Tianhuo game, he was forced to take it out due to performance pressure. Originally, I also hoped to make it with the help of the resources of the Sky Fire game, but as a result, it was changed into a mess. Because of this incident, I had a big fight with Jiang Tai that day, and then ......"
"And then you're a 10,000-year-old handyman?" Wu Guiyuan said with a smile.
Chen Shuo clenched his fists tightly and nodded unwillingly.
Wu Guiyuan can also understand why Chen Shuo is obviously capable but mixed up like this.
"So what are you doing with this for me? Prove that you are the main designer of "Dark Lands"? Wu Guiyuan asked with a smile, "You don't want the company to come forward to help you get back the "Dark Continent", right?" ”
"No...... If you don't know, just ...... Only...... Let's see if it's useful for the company, right? ”
Chen Shuo didn't know why he took out this document, but he was moved by Wu Guiyuan's "Holy Light" just now, so he took it out in a daze.
Wu Guiyuan shook his head and returned the phone to him.
"First of all, you can't prove that you designed this game, and the copyright of the game has been registered by Skyfire Games, so it has nothing to do with you. Secondly, even if it is the plan you give, but this game is made by Tianhuo Games, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, and it is impossible to judge the game to you just because you are the main author of the game. What's more, you're not a person of Skyfire Games now. ”
Chen Shuo lowered his head a little lost.
In fact, it's been so long since this incident, he has already seen it, and if he can't get it back, he can't get it back.
But at this time, I heard Wu Guiyuan say: "However, if you can come up with evidence to prove that this game was designed by you before you joined Tianhuo Games, maybe we can make some articles on the copyright of the game copy, and maybe we can help you get a little compensation?" ”
"Copywriting?" Chen Shuo was also thought of by what he said: "The plot background of this game was not written by me, it was a roommate of mine in college. I'm not good at writing, so I asked him to help write the plot, and in return, I licensed the IP of this game to him? Allow him to adapt the copy for publication. ”
"Signed an agreement?"
"Verbal agreement...... Chen Shuo smiled awkwardly.
"......" Wu Guiyuan.
"But I remember he wrote it and published it? I also signed a contract with the platform, and there is a copyright! But hit the streets? It should now be lying in the stacks of the platform. ”
"Also called "Dark Continent"? Shouldn't it? This game is so popular, even if it hit the street at the time? It should also be dug up by players later, right? ”
"No, he dislikes the name "Dark Continent" too earthy? It is "Walking in the Snow and Walking in the Long Night". ”
Wu Guiyuan nodded: "No wonder it will hit the street." Do you still have his contact details? And if he still has a contract? If you can still find that book......"
"Can you prove that this game was designed before I joined Skyfire Games?"
"No, at most, it can only be proved that the game was adapted from an unauthorized adaptation, and you can sue for infringement and claim damages. Of course, this compensation has nothing to do with you? Or your roommate's? Either it's the platform your roommate signed on. ”
"......" Chen Shuo.
Wu Guiyuan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "However, we can buy the copyright from that platform in advance." Anyway, this book is hitting the streets, and it is worthless. ”
Chen Shuo nodded.
That still has nothing to do with him!
However, it is not unacceptable to help the company make a little more money.
Tomahawk game temperament? It's not like there is no bonus at all, right?
The key is that you can sue Tianhuo Game for infringement again, and it's very comfortable to think about.
Wu Guiyuan looked at his expression? Guessing that he hadn't turned the corner yet, he said with a smile: "Xiao Chen? As long as the copyright is bought, we can make a new game according to your plan! Make the most perfect "Dark Continent" in your heart! ”
"Huh? Can it still be like this? ”
"Of course? Can't prove now that the game was designed before you were hired? Or is it useless even if it is proven? It is difficult to start a lawsuit from this perspective to recover the game copyright. But let's change our thinking, let's just say that this game is adapted, and Skyfire Games didn't get the game adaptation rights, they are illegal! And the copyright is in our hands, why can't we adapt it into a game? At most, they only have the copyrights of various game materials, so let's just not touch them. And we're not uncommon to their shoddy stuff, right? The company has a dedicated art team, so why don't we design the game's art style and various materials from scratch? ”
"Mr. Wu......" Chen Shuo was surprised.
Wu Guiyuan smiled and pressed his hand: "This matter is kept secret for the time being, what about you, you have time to improve and perfect this plan, after all, it was a few years ago, and now you must have other better ideas, and there is still room for improvement." Slightly, I'll ask someone from the legal department to find you, and you and your roommate will try to get in touch, and as long as you can buy back the copyright, the game won't run away. Once the company has everything done, start the project and you'll do it! Of course, we won't treat your roommate badly. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Wu!"
Wu Guiyuan smiled and waved his hand, letting him go back to work.
immediately checked the sales of "Dark Continent" again, revealing a touch of sympathy.
"Skyfire Games, why are you infringing again?"
"Tut-tut......"
"I don't know if I can hold up after two infringement lawsuits in a row?"
……
Coming out of Wu Guiyuan's office, Chen Shuo clenched his fists excitedly, and his eyes did not have the confusion and sadness he had at the beginning.
"Lao He, Tianhuo Game owes you, I will help you get it back!"
"Blood debt, blood payment!"
……
……
At this time, the Tianhuo game is indeed stormy.
He Chunsheng's suicide and last words exposed too much black material inside Tianhuo Games, and the company's image, which was originally intended to be saved through the press conference, has now collapsed directly.
Not only the whole network condemned, but more seriously, all parties intervened in the investigation. Many reporters quietly bought off the company's internal employees, hoping to get more revelations. Even though the internal staff of Tianhuo Games has been warned repeatedly, there are still various anonymous internal employees of Tianhuo Games who stand up and complain every day.
The interior of the Sky Fire Game is also disheartened at this time, and many employees have been privately looking for their next home.
It is in this situation of internal and external troubles that Tianhuo Games has to face the infringement lawsuit of Tomahawk Games!
There is no suspense in this lawsuit at all, and after losing the lawsuit, Tianhuo Games directly admitted compensation.
In terms of public opinion, although various rhythms try to lead the spearhead to the tomahawk game, Tomahawk Entertainment is the best at dealing with the water army. When Han Lan first debuted, the whole network was black, and the public relations department of Tomahawk Entertainment had experience. What's more, He Chunsheng's death, the main responsibility is already on the Tianhuo game, and this rhythm can be brought over casually!
