Does DB have to pay carriage fees to Steam?
Yes. Steam costs a lot and takes a very large percentage of sales to get published generally. So there are probably quite some substantial fees at least on daybreaks side.

There is a donate button on the front of the p99 website.

It's 100% entirely for keeping the servers powered and connected. None of that money goes to any dev. And none of that money had on game effects.

P99 is like funding a free digital archeological dig with the findings published to the public free of any charge.

And tbh. Since people do more than recreate the game here it's a little bit grey area.

THJ was like opening a park called Antonica where they rafled Firiona Vie outfits to the donors. And only G-d knows how their devs actually used the donations. I suspect some very sus motives.

This is exactly like those Minecraft servers that would prey on kids with micro transactions when u zoom out.

THJ BAD [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

THJ are 💯% to blame for any blowback against the EMU community, P99 and Quarm.

A dissolute act of moral turpitude!

Nothing THJ did looks good legally on paper. People will defend it. Butt it wasn't research or personal use that motivated THJ.

If they made a COSTCO gift shop and lottery even if their product was slightly dissimilar it'd still be bad af. And they pretty much just used stock EQ.

The lawsuit is over IP theft, not anything related to payments.

This is about THJs massive success.

It has literally 10x the active pop of their big TLP launch, and literally every video on youtube about Fangbreaker was: "Fangbreaker or THJ: The choice is obvious THJ"

This is the "harm" that is being claimed was done.

That's just not true the lawsuit mentions the donations as thinly vieled fees right at the top.

Don't try to spin this shovelquest.

Bear no false witness!

Since they’re distributing or enabling copyrighted game assets/code, they are still infringing.
