*confesses that's how she sees it too!*

Although, Ihave been working on something. Early days yet but partly as a development exercise for animation and also partly to amuse myself..um...

I've sorta started work on a H5 music video...

Figured it could be nifty advertising by chapter four :)
The B P's (Bee Gees) with Heavy Five (Stayin' Alive)?

The point is the difference.

When giving to an actual magazine you both waive the right and are asking for an answer.

With this game, they are giving a portion of the story/gameplay. Thus being a partial creator and can be due financial compensation.
However it is through patreon which isn't really selling a thing, so that makes it grey area.
Yeah it's always better to cover your bases. It's more of a money issue than a people one (as who would do that?) until... Like the waiters who have no problem splitting tips in a unofficial way, until one is given a lottery ticket that happens to win.
I doubt the content creation would be any issue, until 20th Century Fox asks to buy the film rights on Heavy Five for 10 million, and then you see who comes out of the woodwork claiming a piece. :)

I should wish *laughs* but a bit of legwork now could save tears later.

My opinion is yes and no.

Sure it would be a nice bonus for them, and if they are handpicked and good, then sure.

No on the hand of copyright ownership over their writing.

So I guess the middle ground is to pick some and then re-write what they say while keeping the general statement.
Just get around the whole thing by issuing a statement that emails destined for the letters to the editor must be prefaced with "Permission given to reprint in exchange for author acknowledgement".

And issue a notification that emails not prefaced with that statement will not be eligible for consideration. Then all your bases are covered.

Damn...the grown ups are watching us! :)

But yep, top tip

A queen song, of course it has to be "Bicycle Race" or "Fat Bottomed Girls".
as a real guess "I want it all" or "Who wants to live forever?" because you will probably die a lot doing bad things.
I'd have gone more with "Somebody to love" or "We will rock you", but I greatly approve the suggestion of "Fat bottomed girls"! (y)
