Licenses

This "might" belong in the Sponsors and Portals thread, but anyways...

 

What is everyone's experience contacting sponsors/portals with their newly developed game(s)? Do you contact them all at once or one at a time? What if one sponsor asks for your game to be exclusive to them only for X amount of days (or forever?) and another wants it to be non-exclusive? Or if several sponsors want to keep your game exclusive for X amount of days over the same timeframe, do you tell one of the sponsors to wait their turn? What is the best approach for negotiation?

 

Just looking for feedback on this before I send my game off to sponsors :)

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences

Hi, I want to add some question regarding non-exclusive License also.

 

1.With non-exclusive license, do the sponsor get the rights to distribute the game to other portal ?

2.With non-exclusive license, do other portal get right to iframe the game link to their portal ? I mean like this :

    Sponsor A buy non-exclusive license for my HTML 5 game, then sponsor A put the game to his/her website.

    After a few days, other portal lets name it Portal B, take the game link put it in iframe and display it in their portal.

    Is this legal ?

 

I hope some one can give insight about this also :)

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

Not automatically. Some try to put that into their contract and it's up to you if you accept that. You should not.

No.

That said.. the real question is what you can do about it, and the sad truth is: not that much, if the "stealing" party and/or the hoster are in an uncivilized country.
