Sorry if this is in the wrong category, I could not find a better fitting one. (Feel free to move it if you can and you find a better spot for it)
I have been playing a lot of Rainbow Six Siege by Ubisoft lately and I wanted to recreate this in Roblox. Kind of like how Rolve made Counter-Blox. I will probably not end up finishing the game, but if I do, I would like to know if copyright would pose a threat towards my game’s survival. I was wondering if Ubisoft would ask Roblox to take down the game (Like Pokemon Brick Bronze, I know it used stolen assets but still) for using the idea. This game will use original assets.
Well, it matters. If you made a game with similar gameplay but customized it to your own style and creations then you should be fine, but if you just downright steal the concept, names, characters, or assets then that isn’t allowed.
Assets directly out from somewhere are usually the culprits for DMCA takedowns. You should be fine as long nothing is a direct copy. Beware that some players are not up for familiarity at all times.
