Licensing[edit]

This is a screenshot of a non-free copyrighted video game or computer game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company or person that developed the game. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question or the copyrighted character(s) or item(s) depicted on the screenshot in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to generate profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise. See Wikipedia:Non-free content.

To the uploader: This tag is only for use with images that are screenshots from video games. Please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example fair use rationales, see here. Template:Non-free use rationale video game screenshot may be helpful for stating the rationale. This tag should not be used for screenshots of free software; use the license tag corresponding to the software's license instead, optionally alongside {{Free screenshot}}. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an 'appropriate' rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Fair use rationale[edit]

It is believed that the use of this image qualifies as fair use in the article Red Faction because:

• Volition, Inc. has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information
• The image is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article
• The image resolution has been significantly decreased from the original, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality
• The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way
