- imhoguy 4y agoAssets could be possibly downloaded from 3rd party site on user consent.
- yreg 4y agoAn app that doesn't work until you use it to pirate something? Yeah that wouldn't fly in App review.
- fetzu 4y agoI understand the intricacies of it in terms of the App Store, but I don’t think grabbing Quake’s shareware assets qualifies as pirating.
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoYeah but 'user consent' don't make using assets legal.
- flohofwoe 4y agoIt's probably legal for the 'shareware episode' assets (same for the Doom shareware version), although I guess it's better to let a lawyer dissect the license just to be sure: https://www.quakeworld.nu/wiki/Quake_Shareware_License https://www.quakeworld.nu/wiki/Quake_Shareware_License
