Rustem Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hello. Today i visited Clay.io's stats about my game and noticed that gamers play my game from several multilanguage sites of y8.com (e.g. tl.y8.com, it.y8.com, fr.y8.com). They iframed my game from clay.io, and, furthermore, there is large collection of other games (check it for your game http://y8.com). I suppose all (or majority) of them appeared there without permission of authors. Are they legal at all?I'm not against that my game was viewed more frequently, but some people sell licenses for they games and some people buy licenses to show games on their site, but y8.com are wrong. What's your opinion about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustem Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 The same trouble with pog.com. Is clay.io going to prevent iframing of their site?I'm not sure to write them, because their don't response on my previous letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbogoes Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Distributing your game on other portals (clay.io has this option) means that they can do whatever they want with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustem Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 They placed this option so far, so it's hard to find, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Would it be better if we placed this on the settings page? Or maybe a note on the licensing page that mentions when you have the revenue share option enabled (since the only developers that might care are the ones who want to sell licenses)?

Rustem Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Maybe settings page, i think people look there more often then distributing->game portals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Added it to the settings page (under marketplace settings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustem Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ok, it's your partners, but what will you do if illegals will iframe your site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xarn Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well, personally, I don't think it's clay.io business to do that. With all the games and portals, it wouldn't even be feasible. Basically, your game is more widespread. Therefore a little more ad revenue. Good for you, right?But if you really want to block it, you could still do that in the code like "if(window.top!==window.self)..."...although very basic, I think it'd be enough to drive off most attempting to iframe it. Otherwise, add obfuscation on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 We typically iframe games (even if they're uploaded to Clay) so that wouldn't really work. The problem here is going to a publisher after the matter and having them take down a game - definitely not something we want to do often, but we can if necessary. For any requests like that, just email me ([email protected]) with the game URL and URL on the 3rd party publisher site, and I'll reach out to them to have them take it down (and if they don't in a reasonable amount of time, we can stop showing the game on that site).

Rustem Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 @xarn, ad revenue is negligible on mobile nowadays, the only possibility to earn something is to sell licences, but if more free game portals will grow, there will no possibilities to earn anything at all.@austin, thanks for reply! plicatibu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddieone Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Sorry, I'm late by 6 years. If you have any issues with games, we will work with you to resolve it. I check the Y8 forum often, it's a good place to reach the Y8 team. If it is a simple request like modification to a game listing, the support team can also handle it from the help page.
