Is it even legal to make money off Bungie?
Its not uncommon to see a post on the recruitment formulas about a follower hungry kid who wants people to follow his channel and pay him for a flawless (Which is not guaranteed). But besides that, is it even legal to make money off of someone else's product?

This is so true i think people who carry 4 money are scumbags who are stealing money from kids who aren't smart enough to not pay 4 thing like this

And as far as Twitch goes, most streamers offer a sub carry day (paid), and follower carry day (free), and a viewer carry day (also free.) Like you said, nothing is guaranteed for money. You don't have to spend money to play with, or even watch streamers play the game. So your arguement of streamers is null and void right there. And yes, it's absolutely legal to make money from someone else's product. Just take a look and the pharmaceutical industry.

It all depends on how it is being done.

6 RepliesDon't know if its legal. I just can't figure out why people sit around and watch someone else play a game instead of doing it themselves. I guess I don't get that bored.

8 RepliesEdited by Lone Wolf PR 77: 12/21/2016 12:50:14 PMYes is legal to make money... but not to charge for trials runs.. the grey line is that the overall streamers bring thousands of viewers which is a huge free advertising deal to bungie and a lot of them charge for trials runs . Implementing bans could be a backlash.... at the end the problem is not who offer the services, is who pay for it...

Well, if it weren't legal, Twitch for FPS games wouldn't exist. Many FPS twitchers charge money for various things in different games. Posting on the forums, and asking for money is a bannable offense. Twitchers get away with it because the money that they make is considered a "donation", which is not illegal.

2 RepliesSome top Streamers make anywhere from $2,500-$4,000+ just from Trials alone on the weekend, Had one guy in our raid team making $1,000 on the weekends (college student) I just stay out of Trials, due to money being involved and Shady sportsmanship comes lurking out, Not sure if it's completely legal or not, but the Recruitment section here is filled with paid advertising for carries and account recoveries, So I guess it's legal?
-
Your question and what you are actually asking are two different things. Yes, it is legal to make money off of Bungie's work if you follow their guidelines. No, asking for payment for trials is not in the rules and is a bannable offense.
-
Yes. Unless Bungie asserts that it violates their Terms of Use in the EULA.
