We have been sent an update today from the guys over at Black Sand Studios which includes some information that I believe everyone should take note of. Take a look:
It's sad to see other's hard work being stolen without permission but this is an important update for all to see. To learn more about the BSS group, click here.
Black Sand Studios is sad to come forth in these circumstances, but it has to be done. We have noticed that the mod Operation Sunrise has stolen content from various other mods. So far two of our projects, PR and OPK have identified some objects and even soundfiles to be their intellectual property. Not only BSS projects are victims, others are affected as well. We would like all mod teams pay close attention to be certain their hard work hasn't been taken for granted.
With this newsupdate we do not want to start a flamewar, but such things cannot pass unseen. We have tried to talk with them, but we could not find a common ground of understanding, so we decided it had to go public. We hope that the community will draw it's conclusions, and that such acts shall never be perpetrated again.
This does not mean that we are against the fact that other teams use our content! But all we ask is to be asked first. We have shared content in the past, and we will continue to do this, as long as it happens correctly.
We thank you for your attention,
Black Sand Studios.
The following are pictures to show proof and shown only here for now.
