A user under the nickname Vasyan777 (aka mr. Vasily) collected modification Doom Remake 4 Based on the first Doom. As often happens, copyright holders became interested in the activity of an enthusiast: after the appeal Zenimax Vasyan had to stop the development of the game.
Vasyan himself describes Doom Remake 4 as a set of mods. They added high resolution textures with PBR materials, three -dimensional models for each object and enemy, dynamic lighting, shaders, post effects, a new interface (modified doomvisor), as well as more blood, meat and other disorders.
June 10 at the https://nonukgamblingsites.co.uk/review/spinscastle/ PC Gaming Wiki forum posted a letter from lawyers Zenimax Media, Which was sent to Vasyan. Just in case, Zenimax – These are the owners Bethesda, And to the family Bethesda Enters ID Software. Therefore Zenimax She began to defend her intellectual property and stated that Mr. Vasily was violating her rights.
Lawyers Zenimax demanded immediately to stop developing a remake, remove mention from the author’s social pages and destroy all the project materials. Execution time – until June 20.
Vasyan has already deleted a page on the Mod DB website. Before that, he wrote that he suspected such an outcome. Vasyan consulted with legal experts: they said that he had high chances of winning the dispute in court, but this will need more than a year and about 100,000 dollars. Vasyan does not have that kind of money, so he decided to obey the requirements Zenimax.
As PC Gamer adds, Vasyan tried to please Zenimax, Having published a new build. Earlier Doom Remake 4 was an independent modification, and after the update began to demand the presence of a legally acquired copy Doom. As you understand, lawyers Zenimax This did not satisfy.
