Read the Source and License Before Sharing a Game
Sports
The game loads on a website, so who made it? That question matters if you're curious about the developer, recommending a title to a friend, or thinking about using its artwork elsewhere. A place to play a game and the owner of its creative work are different things.
Our game pages identify a source collection, provider, and license information. Start there rather than guessing from the logo or the site hosting the page. Fifteen, for example, credits Simon Tatham and contributors, names a puzzle collection, and displays an MIT license. A provider title such as Far Orion names GameMonetize as its source collection and shows publisher distribution information. These records tell you what the pages say about origin and distribution; they are not permission from us to reuse every asset for a new project.
There is also a technical difference behind the play button. Our game-checking page explains that some files are hosted by AvandaGame, while provider-hosted games run from the provider's servers. Our published policy describes file checks for games stored on our server and address and license records for provider titles. We don't claim to inspect all the files of a provider-hosted game or review every third-party game's content.
Sharing a link to a game page so a friend can visit is a different decision from copying its code, screenshots, characters, music, or branding into your own publication. A license can have conditions, and different parts of a game may involve different rights. Read the game page and the underlying source's terms when you need permission beyond ordinary play. Our Terms page says the portal does not grant extra rights to third-party names, trademarks, or assets.
Picture a creator who wants to illustrate a video with a game's character. Seeing the game in our catalog does not establish that the character is free to reuse. The responsible next step is to identify the credited work and rights holder, then check the relevant permission. A visitor who only wants to recommend the game can instead send the page for the friend to assess and play under its current conditions.
At AvandaGame, we publish source and license details to make those questions easier to ask. We also provide a channel to report attribution or rights concerns. Our Copyright page requests the affected URL, the work, the reporter's connection to the rights holder, and supporting context, without asking for unnecessary personal information. We may correct or remove material after reviewing a confirmed issue.
Source labels and policy statements deserve scrutiny too. They reflect our published records and can change; they aren't an independent audit of every license or a guarantee that no problem will occur. If a detail looks incomplete or wrong, reporting it is more useful than assuming the website's presence settles the question.
Two games can have different origins and records. A hosted open-source puzzle and a title from a publisher feed may carry different credits. Read each record independently; don't apply one title's license to another title's material.
