* The [[MUSH]] ''Multiverse Crisis MUSH'' acknowledges this phenomenon in its banned characters list, not allowing characters from works subject to Fanwork Ban to be played. However, [[Captain Ersatz]] versions of banned characters are fine- in fact, there is an entire theme in the game that is a [[Captain Ersatz]] version of ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''. |

* If you dare to use the name ''[[Tetris]]''® or even so much as create a game that involves falling tetriminos, prepare for a C&D letter from The Tetris Company. Unless of course you pay The Tetris Company licensing fees and royalties. Even if you're not violating any copyrights and only copy elements which the US Supreme Court has ruled ''cannot even be covered by copyright'' (''Lotus v. Borland''), you'll still get [[wikipedia:SLAPP|SLAPP]]'ed with legal threats for the sake of intimidation. |

* GameBanana, a video game modding site, has a list of companies that do not permit their content being ported to other games (which is what most modders tend to do). Companies currently listed include Bohemia Interactive, Cry of Fear, Mane6, [[Blizzard]], Battlestate Games, and America's Army. So, making mods entirely within Bohemia's own engine/game is A-OK, but publishing, let's say, a playable [[Overwatch|Tracer]] mod for ''[[Mario Kart]]'' will result in the mod being trashed. |
