DNF Screenshots Not Banned
Steve Gibson
13
Since so many people seem to completely misunderstanding the misrepresentation of a post by Andy over at PlanetCrap (story), (We're guilty of this stuff once in a while too FYI, oops) here is a clarification by George Broussard of 3DRealms on exactly what was said

>>Do you (and your lawyers) think that there is any way a web site could post unofficial screenshots of DN4 as a part of a review and it would be legally protected as fair use?

Dunno. And you will note that we NEVER EVER said we'd try to stop sites from using shots. EVER. I just said that web sites take crappy shots in general and too many of them. It was a general discussion about the state of screenshots in the industry. Nothing more.
