6/8/2023 0 Comments Overwatch playwatch redit![]() Sure, they could take you to court, but any judge with a brain could figure out it was in clear parody, it was not a continuation of in-universe lore (the character's personalities deviated heavily from what we've seen, so it's not that they're ripping off IP). Judging from the content (the heroes obviously being parodies of themselves, a parody of Overwatch AND Playboy being the main focus of the mag, fan art), this would fall under fair use and not very much can be done to stop it. Here's where the issue arises: "Fair Use" as you're referring to here, in the US anyway, is so broad and general that there is no defined point that copyright infringement becomes parody. I am just sad to see a project like this, full of fans, full of imagination and hard work, with the only purpose of entertaining other fans, being shut down without an answer from Blizzard :( On the contrary, it was full of fan art, articles, and some creative and hilarious ideas, like an interview with bastion or conversations with fed-up support characters. Maybe blizzard is chasing Overwatch porn, but the magazine had no porn on it or in it, the cover was a parody of Playboy and there were no nudes or explicit content inside. Why aren’t we allowed to keep doing this fan work? ![]() There are thousand of artists, websites, twitter account, youtubers… using Overwatch heroes in their channels, even making money with them. They even had to remove the Twitter cover picture because it showed two Overwatch heroes (fan art created by one of the collaborators). The copyright company asked the Playwatch team to close the website and delete all the tweets and posts related to the Magazine. We weren’t harming anyone with the project, on the contrary, we were writing articles and drawing fan art for other Overwatch fans to enjoy them. I am still trying to figure out the reason for the shutdown. The Playwatch team wrote to Blizzard, but they haven’t responded yet. ![]() ![]() Many collaborators, including me, were able to join the team to bring Overwatch fans a new way of enjoying the game and creating a place where artists and writers could share their work with the rest of the community.
