LAST UPDATED ON MAY 27, 2022 HELLO THERE! WE ARE PETER WEINBERGER AND WE MAKE BOOKS, E-BOOKS, AUDIO BOOKS, COMICS, GAMES, MOBILE GAMES AND MOBILE APPS. WE APPRECIATE EVERY EFFORT OUR COMMUNITY PUTS INTO SHOWING THEIR LOVE FOR US, OUR AMAZING GAMES, MOBILE APPS, MOBILE GAMES, BOOKS, E-BOOKS, AUDIO BOOKS, COMICS AND SERVICES. ON THE ONE HAND WE WANT TO EMBRACE AND SUPPORT YOUR CREATIVITY ON THE OTHER HAND WE NEED TO PROTECT YOU, US AND OUR PROPERTY, SO WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER THESE CREATOR GUIDELINES TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS. THIS IS A NON LEGALLY BINDING SUMMARY, TO MAKE IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND FOR YOU: 1) RULE OF THUMB: YOU CAN DO ALMOST ANYTHING, UNLESS IT HURTS US, OUR PROPERTY, YOURSELF OR THIRD PARTIES IN ANY WAY. A FEW EXAMPLES WE ARE FINE WITH: - GAME PLAY VIDEOS WITH OR WITHOUT COMMENTARY ON YOUTUBE - GAME PLAY STREAMS ON SITES LIKE YOUTUBE AND TWITCH - SPEED RUNNING OUR GAMES ON SITES LIKE YOUTUBE AND TWITCH - DRAWING SOME AMAZING FAN ART INVOLVING OUR CHARACTERS AND POSTING IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES LIKE REDDIT - CREATING COSPLAY PROPS AND COSPLAYING CHARACTERS FROM OUR GAMES, BOOKS OR COMICS. - TAKING SCREENSHOTS OF OUR GAMES AND SHARING THEM ONLINE - CREATING A COMMUNITY WEBSITE, FAN WIKI, GUIDE, WALK THROUGH FOR OUR GAMES WHAT YOU CANNOT DO, IS CREATE ANY FAN CONTENT THAT WOULD INTERFERE DIRECTLY WITH OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, SO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CREATE ANY FAN CONTENT IN THE FORM OF GAMES, MOBILE GAMES, MOBILE APPS, BOOKS, E-BOOKS, AUDIO BOOKS OR COMICS. 2) NO MONETARY GAIN WHATSOEVER. YOU CANNOT CREATE SOMETHING, USING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND EARN MONEY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY USING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FROM IT. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS IN ANY WAY. THERE ARE HOWEVER TWO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS: EXCEPTION 1: AD REVENUE WITHIN A PARTNER PROGRAM SUCH AS YOUTUBE, OR AS A STREAMER ON YOUTUBE/FACEBOOK/TWITCH AS LONG AS YOU PROVIDE A LINK TO OUR ORIGINAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (E.G. THE STEAM PAGE FOR OUR GAME) THE LINK CAN BE EITHER ON SCREEN OR IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW. EXCEPTION 2: COLLECTING DONATIONS WITHIN A PARTNER PROGRAM AS STREAMER ON YOUTUBE/FACEBOOK/TWITCH AS LONG AS YOU PROVIDE A LINK TO OUR ORIGINAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (E.G.

IF THERE IS ANY OTHER PLATFORMS THAT OFFERS A PARTNER PROGRAM AND YOU WISH TO CREATE FAN CONTENT, YOU COULD PROBABLY ASK US BEFOREHAND, IF YOU INSIST TO DO SO. 3) ALL YOUR CREATIONS MUST BE PUBLIC TO THE WORLD AND SEARCHABLE BY SEARCH ENGINES (GOOGLE, BING ETC.) FROM THE FIRST SECOND, NO FAN CONTENT BEHIND A PAYWALL, PRIVATE SOCIAL MEDIA GROUPS OR ANYTHING IN THIS MANNER (E.G.: TIMED POSTS ON PATREON, PATREON IN GENERAL). 4) STAY POSITIVE WITH YOUR FAN CONTENT AND PRESENT US IN A POSITIVE WAY AND WE WILL PROBABLY BE MORE THAN OKAY WITH WHATEVER YOU MAKE. THIS IS IMPORTANT, IF YOU CREATE SOMETHING USING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THAT IS DAMAGING TO US, TO OUR REPUTATION, TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR TO ANY OF YOUR FELLOW HUMANS, WE WILL HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THAT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED... JUST TO CLARIFY, WE DON’T MEAN TO CENSOR YOU, WHEN YOU MAKE REVIEW VIDEOS OF OUR GAMES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE JUST DON’T WANT YOU TO USE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TO CREATE SOMETHING DEFAMATORY, SEXIST RACIST OR ANYTHING THAT COULD CLASSIFY AS HURTING US OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR OTHER HUMANS. UNDERSTOOD? GOOD! 5) YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO EVERYONE, THAT YOUR FAN CONTENT IS UNOFFICIAL. WE CANNOT BE SEEN ENDORSING ANY FAN CONTENT YOU MIGHT CREATE, IF WE DON'T HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER THE CREATIVE PROCESS. 6) IF WE SEE SOMETHING WE DON’T LIKE, YOU MUST REMOVE IT INSTANTLY, IF WE ASK YOU TO DO SO. PLEASE COMPLY, TRUST US, YOU WON’T LIKE THE CONSEQUENCES, IF YOU DON’T. 6) NO MIXING OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES. DON’T MIX OR COMBINE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY WITH THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF OTHER PEOPLE OF COMPANIES. 7) IF YOU HAVE A GREAT IDEA AND ARE UNSURE, YOU CAN PROBABLY ASK US,...,BUT PLEASE DON'T IF POSSIBLE. WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO ANSWER THOUSANDS OF EMAILS PER WEEK. KEEP IN MIND THAT WE DON'T ASK YOU FOR ANY SUBMISSION OR QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK, SO DON'T SEND US ANYTHING, IF YOU DO, MAKE SURE YOU READ OUR UNBIDDEN SUBMISSION POLICY., IT APPLIES, IF YOU SEND US ANYTHING WE DID NOT ASK YOU FOR.
