game taken down
Comments
the game is broken. in unable to shoot that guy. thank god its gone for good.
What’s the name of the game?
Probably, gotten down because for abuse
@primotheman357 I was able to shoot him, and I really enjoyed it
Sensitive ass mods taking shit down because they obviously like that dickhead lmfao
What's the name of the game? I doubt it was removed by mods. Last time i checked when it was still up, it had a pretty bad score, so maybe it just got blammed.
I didn't played the game, but one user in the comments is saying that the game was broken.
If you can find your game in the Obituaries, it means it have been blammed by its bad score.
@EwanDoggieNG
I don't think they took the game down (see what I've written earlier)
Some games also made fun of controversial people's deaths, like UnitedHealthcare CEO's killing, and weren't removed
@SouSTAR I looked at the Obituaries, it's not there.
@EwanDoggieNG
What is the name of the game?
@SouSTAR It was called "CHARLIE KIRK: DAY ZERO"
@EwanDoggieNG
It is removed by moderators.
When entering the link for the game, it doesn't show the obituaries. Just a message of error, which means it was removed.

Now, i have some possible reasons it was removed.
From the Games Portal rules :
https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/terms-of-use/game-guidelines
"Do not include copyrighted video clips or photographs that you did not create."
If @muffinpuppiez used photos or videos of Kirk, then it will be obviously removed.
It seem to be the most probable reason. Again, i haven't played the game, but if you did @EwanDoggieNG , tell me if it used photos of Kirk.
Some other reasons :
"You may not upload games made in Kogama (previously Adventure Box)."
And considering some people complained about the game not working correctly:
"Your game must work on Newgrounds, in a web browser. If you ask users to download and install something to play your game, it will be removed."
Im only citing "possible reasons" because i haven't played the game. So I don't know the content of the game and i don't know what it may have made it deleted by mods.
Another possible reason : the game is targeting a specific real person (Charlie Kirk), which could be considered as harassment. The game i gave in example (Kill The Healthcare CEO) didn't show or mentioned any real person.
Anyway, @EwanDoggieNG and @muffinpuppiez tell me if one of these 3 rules got broken.
@SouSTAR Kirk's face did get used but the copyright law says that you can use photographs of celebrities as a parody, I think. Cartoon Network's MAD has used real people's faces and has never been in trouble for it.
Cartoon Network's MAD has used real people's faces with the people's/ actor's CONSENT, it was part of the show. The actors are paid to go to the studio, take their photos, and get used in the show. I doubt we could ask for Kirk's consent now. Anyway, as you can see, that's two different things.
Copyright laws don't say you can use people's faces as we like, it doesn't matter if they're celebreties or not.
By using photos of Kirk, @muffinpuppiez is infringing the rights of those who took the photo, and the rights of Kirk for using his face (or the rights of Kirk's family, copyright laws and privacy laws are complex, but you get the idea.)
Im not defending Kirk or whatever, but... the "rules are the rules". Copyright laws are about how people can use images and text. It doesn't matter what the subject of the image or text is.
An example: if i made a game "kill hitler" and used a licensed photo of hitler, my game would be taken down. Not because i mocked Hitler, but because i used a licensed photo. It doesn't matter if it's a photo of Hitler.
I know Kirk's super controversial and ect, but, we can't just use people's faces and photos as we like. Even if they have done bad things. Why? Because that's illegal.
Even if weren't talking about using Kirk's face (as he is dead anyway), the guy who took the photo isn't dead, and if he saw that it was used without his consent, that's a breach of the photographer's rights.
