Hello everyone, 

I dont want to reveal who I am. But lets say I have a story to tell out of my own experience.
I WAS a game developer. And I WAS working in the Adult-Hardcore Section. That should be enough.

I discovered "Strive for Power" about 2 Weeks ago. Learned to love it.
I really dislike any Hentai or Anime graphics. So i decided to pick this PortraitsPack.

After I learned that I also dislike to have Topmodels or whatever these people are inside the game, because it ruins my  immersion 
I switched to an anime pack (not that there are others than anime/hentai packs excapt for this supermodel-pack). It was this one.

After about 10 minutes of gameplay, I saw a very familar picture.. Thats "Guardian of the World Tree" from the Artist "Chenbo"

Chenbo, is not only a very talented Artist. She is an official Artist for Riot Games and Blizzard. So companys that have enough money to buy itch.io and delete it. Enough money to open the hellfires for everything, they dislike.

And that brings me to the point. I was behind bars for over 7 years. The reason? Hosting and distributing copyright protected material.
So what have I done? I developed a Video Game where the player can swap his own backgrounds into. And so, fans created large packs of Background images for different rooms in my game. Here in Sweden, the gouverment takes Copyright protection very seriously.
But I did not. I thought that noone cares about some porn game that are naturally far away from anyones radar who work in the real game buisiness.

A guy, I name him Jason, had loaded up a very popular BackgroundPack on my side. It was resting there for over 2 years. Noone cares. But one image inside this pack, was copyright protected by Electronic Arts.

Some day, a 15 year old boy was asking a very stupid question in my forum. Another user answered him very rough. The boy felt insulted and because noone was paying attention to him he escalate the whole thing. He wrotes an Email to EA, that someone uses their graphics in an incest game. 

You know... an incest game.. a rape game.. a bestiallity game.. something like that together with "your company" could cause an image damage that is worth several billion dollars for Electronic Arts. The hell breaks loose for me, my work, for Jason ... even for some other members of my community. The police stand in my home, searching for Child-Porn material. EA lawyers sent me papers to sign, which will make me pay 1.500.000$ to avoid an official curt. Jason is still in Jail as far as I know.


So what do I wanna to tell you all, espeacially the Dev of S4P?
Everything is good, as long as it is good. Most people here give a shit about copyrights and ownerships. So did I. 
But it just need a 15y old, frustrated kiddo to end this all. I will pay my debt until the next 2 generations of my family, for ignoring a little asshole that was to lazy to read the description text how to install a picture pack. 

The Message is: Keep an eye out who you try to mess with. I don't know much about Anime/Hentai-Companies and their interest in protect their property.. But major big western companies, like EA, Blizzard, Riot Games and Valve will make you bleed for this. And they know exactly how to do it. They show no mercy, nor forgiving.


So.. thank you for reading until this point. I hope I could make you guys a little bit more sensitive for that kind of media.
