Defense measures to "ideas for ideas" of the game company are attracting attention. What is the idea of the ideas of the game that has been sent unilaterally goes to

LEGO IDEAS, formerly called Lego Cuckoo, is a crowdsourcing platform established by The Lego Team considering that 2008. It allows the basic public to provide a creation from the LEGO building ready advertising. At first an independent Japanese task, LEGO resumed total project control in 2014 and also relabelled the Ideas Lego array. For a development to be generated, it must gather a minimum of support from Web users, yet likewise be confirmed by LEGO. It is then put on sale if the box obtains 10,000 votes, and also it is accepted by LEGO. The creator of the box gets 1% of the cash made by the sale of the product.

Gamers will often hope for adding specific elements to your favorite games and game makers, and games development of specific genres. It is a topic that can be excited by SNS and forum, and the manufacturer side is also visible to such requests.

Also, if you think about some game ideas, you may want to convey directly to the manufacturer, and you want to develop it. Just the manufacturer side, such idea posts are often not welcomed. The Tweet of Mr. Kabuki Simona, Sega, has attracted attention.

Mr. Simona is a person who has been involved as a producer in Sega Border Break and Afterburner his climax Ghost Skid. He is currently leaving the company and is teaching. He tweeted to take measures to defend from Press Selling Idea on January 11th. As an example, the rights of the scent ideas have been stated that they have all the games companies.

This clause may look at the maker as you think that the manufacturer wants to take away the ideas of the fan. However, as a syllabify, it is said that it may be described such that the person who sent the idea is not claim. It is measuring that Ideas have been stolen from general users to not be claimed. If I confirmed to Mr. Simona, this is not the story of Sega of the previous job, but the story of the general theory.

Mr. Mutsuhito Hard who has been working on the Taken series etc. in Banzai NAMC for the rights claimed by the fans, and Mr. Mutsuhito Hard, who has been engaged in the past. It is said that there was a certain thing that happened to be a part of a certain game that happened to be a part of the game. Such people have sent ideas sketches and illustrations to the manufacturer one to unity, and even if the development team has not been blinded, it is right to use their ideas It is said that it claims.

In addition, when recruiting ideas for more than 20 years ago, when we recruited ideas, the adopters' parents seek distribution It seems that I gave up.

From such an experience, Mr. Hard says that the recruitment of ideas does not occur unless it is part of the PR campaign. Also, because the risk is too high, a concrete and more clear ideas have been sent, and if the development team looks at it, it seems to be able to develop and develop it by avoiding the idea.

The story is a defense of the manufacturer, but in the general-purpose inquiry window of the game company, various measures are taken. For example, in Banzai NAMC Entertainment, There is no planned from customers, etc., if you have a project, etc., you will be discarded or deleted.

Pokémon series developer game freak, Idea (plan, design, scenario, etc.) will be sent hard. Even if it is a fan letter, employees who do not work directly to the game design are opened, and if they were content including ideas, disposal or returns to not touch the eyes of other employees It is said that the response is d1. EA is similarly returned or deleted. The company says that thousands of proposals will be sent each year.

When Mr. Simona's old nest Sega is sent, a product idea or plan proposal has been sent, We do not have obligation to evaluate, study, adopt and secrecy and secrecy, and our company and Sesame Group company. Even if the product and service etc. are the same or similar to the proposal, it will be regarded as any responsibility that you want to include payment of money for those who sent. It does not mention return and disposal, and is required to be sent after agreement with the above conditions.

Thus, in the proposal of ideas from fans, it can be seen that each company has been responding to ensure that the developer does not go through. Also, it is likely that it is one of the measures to avoid risk avoidance, also saying and known such measures. Sega is somewhat different, but the risks you want to avoid are considered the same. It may be said to be close to the example of Mr. Simona first.

Generally, the ideas of the game are considered to be protected by copyright law, and it is necessary to obtain a patent if you want to protect. However, according to Mr. Simona, the push-down side of the idea is to be a safety policy, so it is safe to defend a wide range as a safety policy, as it claims that such law is not intended to be a safety measure. In addition, according to American lawyer Zachary Seebeck, involved in the game industry, if you interact with the sender of the idea, it may be judged to be judged to be a court if there is a contract relationship without writing. There are such risks, and domestic and foreign companies will take responses as described above.

In other words, even if it comes to thinking about how wonderful games, sending it one-way to the manufacturer is not a way to realize. Mr. Hard, who is the front, is called somewhere, or (with he) to find the way to realize together.
