So, if even Nintendo doesn’t do anything against it, then it means its legal. xD
Hah, can’t argue with that.
I don’t really see into the legal stuff, but I think it is a grey area if you do it independently, without a license from the IP holders. You are technically using their IP and stuff I think. It is especially questionable if you take money for running the service - even if it is donations for just running it and there would be no profit - companies could see it as potentiel profiteering off of their product.
There are examples of such servers running with the publishers blessing - there is a private server for City of Heroes (called Homecoming I think?) which got official license from NCSoft to run it. This is only private server that I know off that is 100% legal.
I imagine the main issue is the schools being different places. Kaer Morhen should be the single “school building” of the witchers. Makes sense with Geralt being a White Wolf too - nickname makes more sense if not everybody around is a wolf.
But there are clearly differences between the people with different medalions - like the cats mostly becoming assassins or swords for hire. I’d be really interested in him explaining the different medalions someday.
Edit: also makes me wonder what schools/medalions the others had. Never thought about this one, not sure if it is mentioned.
