Question about licensing with assets from graphicriver.net

[Dwojityv]

Hello community!
So i just bought something from graphicriver.net and I want to use it in my game. I bought it with regular license and now I read that I cannot charge for my product with these assets in my game.

For more information about their licensing : http://graphicriver.net/licenses/standard?license=regular

Can anyone explain me how can I monetize my game then? Can I use ads in my game or IAPs ?

If anyone bought something on graphicsriver.net, please share your experience. Thanks!

A monetised game in any form (including ads) is a commercial game because you are making money from it. Unless it's 100% free you cannot use the assets. Your options are pretty clear... either change the graphics or contact the licensors and request an upgrade to the licence for commercial use (with the corresponding payment).

Alright. Thank you for your responses. I thought the same, just wanted to be sure.

I should have read that before buying that.

Yup. I've seen some horrible licenses along the lines of "if you use the free version of this program, you transfer the copyright of everything you create to us", so you should definitely give the license a read, even if you just skim through the EULA like most people.

Also, if you're looking for cheap resources to replace the ones you got... here's a shameless plug for the ones I've released! https://itch.io/c/59729/yals-resources
