If I hire a freelancer to develop an arcade game on the Unreal Engine. If they publish it, would I be able to use it in a retail store? This would be a pay on entry system.
Maybe move the post to marketplace category or tag it with “legal”, this is more of a legal question. If I understand the question correctly, you basically wish to provide funding for another party to develop their game with your idea and when is done you wish to “use” it in a retail store. Use as in let people play it on a public console in the store? Or do I not understand the question? It would completely be up to a contract you agree on with them.
If you own everything about it and simply hired someone to perform some tasks for you then I don’t see why not. Again just check the contracts you set up with that person so they won’t claim otherwise.
