Title: IP Infringement?
Post by: Baphomet on September 09, 2013, 08:39:32 PM

So, I went to the iPad App Store to see if there was a deck builder app yet. I found a game called Magecraft from Fire Rainbow Studio that doesn't appear to have anything to do with Mage Wars, yet it is using Mage Wars art assets. FYI.

Artists often let art go more cheaply if they clause in a remainder right to distribution and sale.
