Things about Copyrights

[Kassyolope]

Hello there ! 

Today i ve been scrolling down some searches on youtube about some personal things, and found a video, about a game with monsters from BnS, the thing is I don't know if is Copyrighting or na, the monsters looks the same as the frogs from Beastbog, first circle, and the Lycan.

Here's some pictures :

Heya @Kassyolope! Could you send us an email with all of the details and a video link to bnscommunityteam@ncsoft.com for us to look into further?

 

Thanks!

I am kinda curious, what is the name of the game? I want to see if there is anymore copyrighted material in it.

By any chance the images above are from another game of NCsoft as well? If so then it could be explained as "recycled asset."

 

It means NC reuse the monster design(s) from their other games on BnS, or use the monster designs of BnS on other games of theirs. For example in Aion (another mmo of NCsoft), there are a few monsters that look practically like a recolored versions of some monsters in BnS. And vice versa.

 

Even though these games are made by different studios, since Ncsoft is the one that finances all these studios and these games, they hqve the power to decide/use anything component of these games or the games as a whole at they see fit (they cannot remove the names of the creators from said works however). So they can tell aion devs to use the monster design of bns and vice versa. Which was probably what they did because more designs means more money NC gotta spend, so better use other designs they already got in their database to cut cost.
