    Possible, but unlikely given that the AOE graphics were far superior. The old fairy ad was also taken without permission, that was confirmed by the owner of the picture.

    This topic is wandering AGAIN.
    It`s only considered "fair use" if the person or entity using them is not using them as a means to further their financial gain.
    Evony was clearly using them as advertisments to further the financial gains of it`s game and company.

    They made speakers to shut up spammers and to-be offenders.

    If he's talkin' about the stolen ad images, then yeah.
    If he means ingame images, I'm not so sure because people don't come here and decide to keep playin' becasue of the graphics; they keep playin' becasue of the gameplay, which is obviously not a stolen graphic.
    And since they don't use the graphics an the ads anyways...

    Actually, you launch as soon as it is feasible to do so. You need revenues coming in to satisfy your investors, to make changes like additional artwork and to put toward further expansion.

    Ok, all this talk about the Civony graphics and how they were from AOE. First off, that was a Beta version of the game. They couldn't call it Beta if they were accepting money. Second, once they did start accepting money, the graphics were changed.

    So there was no revenue earned off of AOE graphics at all. The point anyone is trying to make about that falls flat.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    Were you even around for Beta? You can call it whatever you want and take whatever you want from that name. It's just a name.



    This is actually more like the Alpha but it was still called beta I believe. Notice the Shop Icon, notice the scrolling banner referring to Emeralds "worth 30 USD" (a thing that is not sold cannot have a value).

    I can't hotlink this image but http://www.onlinegamesinn.com/showgame/4921/Civony/ has screenshots of items you buy with coins from the civony times (which were all beta). You can still see AoE graphics in the other screen caps btw. Let's at least be honest shall we? I'm not really interested in the debate but I'd like to keep it honest.

    This has went from the original topic of Evony Hates Free Speech into quite a few different areas that are not at all on topic.

    Again, for the record: Evony does not hate free speech.

    And I have stated very clearly that the litigation and the parties on that litigation are inappropriate discussion points.
