that's a great idea
developers can make money from other's work.. that's not even fair. the game should be FREE, not with ¥ 720 price. thanks anyway
Report it to the owners not steam itself as you have no rights to the material thus they will usually ignore reports like that without some kind of legal claim.
What you thought the report button for show?
Unless the content was registered for commercial free use, then fair game to anyone. There even free software that can be resold by others that registered under MIT, such as Playnite, or whatever.
Now of course the person that using content will need some documentation proof for using content for commercial use if being used for advertisement, being sold as, on, or with whatever.
There's also the fact that people can make deals with the creator of the content, to use for commercial use, which you sometimes see people can use content they did not make, which is perfectly fine, and legal.
Again if believe person using stolen content, report them, that's all there is to it. You have to contact the creator of the content to notify them someone using their content without permission.
How do you know the image doesn't belong the game studio and all the others are stealing it?
How do you know they didn't license the rights to use the image from the content creator?
How do you know the image isn't public domain?
You are aware most games use assets and images that others have created and they either license or buy right?
if you buy the game, that game should be unique. You are paying your money for a game, and you want to get an unique content. If you can just download images / artwork / content from internet, what would be the point of buying the game?
I've never seen ANY game on steam which would have "stolen artwork". This is the first time + the game has a very high price, not like like other cheap hentai puzzles games.
Again you don't know its stolen. Also again you have no clue how game design works. Every game in the world either uses re-used assets from previous games meaning its not unique content, or they use store bought assets that are sold and contains pre-rendered assets. A game using a model used on an anime, or a drawing used elsewhere doesn't mean the game isn't unique. Otherwise you'd never play any Mario game, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Smash Bros, or any of dozens of other series that re-use elements from game to game.
Stuff like this is used by many developers as its far more cost effective to buy bundles of assets then to have every game re-create the wheel everytime they want to add something - https://assetstore.unity.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwmIuDBhDXARIsAFITC_5rVb7OoEq29Lgxll15I6DlxkuwmBlRh15t-OWmGzeYWsw7rbU_TdIaAhgQEALw_wcB
Code, assets, etc are all re-used in programming.
I am talking about Steam Header: https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1567670/header.jpg?t=1616857323 I have no idea, what do you want from me.
But Brian9824 questions still stand.
I have seen stolen software, and games, and I do report them knowing whom to contact to report it about their content being stolen, even during when Steam had Greenlight back in 2014, there was someone trying get their listing greenlighted to sell MUGEN which is freeware, and try to claim it as their own, a whole lot of people reported him to get it removed, but he wasn't the 1st to try, nor the last either.
Yes and again you failed to answer any questions. You claim its stolen, how do you know that?
How do you know they don't own that picture and others are using it?
How do you know they didn't license the picture and have the rights to use it?
How do you know its not public domain?
The answer is you don't. You have no clue if its stolen. All you know is that it's used elsewhere and have no idea who owns the image, who has the rights to use it, and so on.
It's like seeing Mario on a cereal box and claiming they stole the image when it was licensed to be used to run a promotion.
IF they are breaking the law and using stolen assets then the asset holder has to be the one to contact Steam because no one, including Steam has any way to know if the assets are stolen or not.
Steam won't go around and investigate every image and asset used in a game as they have no way to tell who the actual creator and rightful owner is.
For instance here was a case where a game studio on steam unknowingly used a stolen asset they legally bought and the game was temporarily pulled because the asset owner initiated the report - https://www.cinemablend.com/games/Why-7-Days-Die-Was-Removed-From-Steam-60086.html
