Banning "copyrighted" player creations is unprecedented and ruining it for creators
Banning player creations for including "copyrighted" intellectual properties is downright excessive. I've never seen a game ban player creations for references/homages to other media but more importantly with a single swing you've destroyed countless hours of creators' work. And what about people that spend currencies to buy these items?
You're trying to encourage creators to create items for your game but many now feel hugely discouraged to do so in fear of wasting their time.
Are people now going to have to be worried their tracks will be erased as well because they put any sort of reference to copyrighted materials on their track? Instantly killing everyones leaderboard entries for that track?
Is there even legal precedence for this - is this truly infringing on any sort of copyright laws since it is player created content?
After all I could put Nike logos all over my gear and show it off in multiplayer - If I don't share it It's not like the devs can delete it from my local save and still it has lots of exposure? Is it suddenly a grey area? So why is it if its shared?
Pretty sure there a tens of thousands of custom maps in CS:GO for example that include all sorts of copyrighted materials/references not to mention being able to create spray logos with all sorts of brand logos.
If a billion dollar company doesn't care, why do you?
Especially on the side of gear creations it puts a huge damper on things - at this point you might as well have left this feature out of the game and put those resources into something else in the game that could have needed it - instead of creating a feature that people will be afraid/unsure to use and will have a large portion of its uses impaired by your excessive policies.
