Microsoft game content usage rules (Clarification)

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Liberator_1234, in this community we deal with more procedures regarding games on xbox consoles and PC consoles, not necessarily on the development part.

Our knowledge is focused on troubleshooting equipment and solutions related to games, collections, facilities etc.

For this the ideal would be to look for some developer community and also check the Microsoft development page.

Hi Adrian, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

You can, but, third-party games require permission from the other companies.

Please read the Game Content Usage Rules to familiarize yourself with it.

I hope this helps.

I understand that they don't want you messing with their IP's like that but so long as he doesn't sell it for a profit shouldn't he be fine? There are mods for all sorts of games that use skins from all sorts of media.

Star Wars: Empire At War, is a Lucas Arts game & you will need to get permission from Lucas Arts & also Microsoft Studios for using a HALO games content in Star Wars: Empire At War etc...

I highly doubt, Microsoft will allow it either..

....just play Halo Wars instead of destroying and doing a bunch of stupid mods to other developers creations.

My god. You have ZERO idea what a gaming community actually used to be about. I will say one thing mind you. was you around during the hey day of Pc game modding with the likes of Battlefield 1942, Max Payne 1+2 etc, etc, etc, etc, etc (Pretty
much most of the PC back catalogue)?
.
Erm, how did you find that at the time? And even now with the likes of DayZ for Arma II?

[/quote]You seem to be forgetting this is the Xbox forums. Most people here don't even understand anything about PC gaming or the fact that mods =/= hacks and try to defend the 360 til the end. Tons of amazing things come from gamers creating mods. IE:

Look at Skyrim on PC or
even Minecraft. And like above, DayZ for ARMA2 which mind you the developers are fully backing it by
even selling a map on the game world on the official store and they're even working with the DayZ creators to bring it to ARMA3. While we're talking about that though, that mod
single-handedly boosted that games sales. ARMA2 Combined Operations has been the top selling game on Steam ever since that mods release and it's not letting up yet. To even try to say mods "destroy" a developers creation is a joke itself. (99% of that wasn't
@ you autana but you probably figured that out before even reading this sentence.)
