Are you saying that if one day, someone ripped models and assets from your game ‘Out Reach’ or made some sort of unauthorized game telling their own version of the Out Reach story, you wouldn’t pursue legal action to defend your IP?
This makes absolutely no sense dude. Being an independant developer has nothing to do with using IP that you don’t own. Independant developers usually make their own IP and that’s how the indie scene flourishes. If an independant developer didn’t use someone elses IP, why on earth would they run into legal issues?
