Using a screenshot in academic wrtiting

Hey Bungie Team, I´ve been a huge Destiny fan since release and I loved Halo before that. I have recently been given the opportunity to write my bachelor thesis on gamification in psychological diagnostics. Now one way of gamifying a diagnostic test is to add experience points and rewards for certain achievements. To illustrate that this is a method that has been used in games for quite some time now and to show a great way of implementing it I would like to use a screenshot of the Destiny character screen, highlighting the level and and experience bar underneath it. Now I have been through your legal FAQ and Terms of Use but unfortunately I am not a lawyer and am still somewhat unclear on if this is allowed or not. That brings me to my actual question. Is it possible for me to use such a screenshot in my (non profit) bachelor thesis? And if so would it be possible to get some sort of written consent from your side? The thesis will most likely not be published and neither I nor my university shall gain any sort of profit from it. It would be great if this were possible and I´m looking forward to your answer. Thanks in advance. PS: I live in Germany and the thesis will be handed in at a German university [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been moved to the #Destiny forum.

  • It should fall under fair use (do to it being for academic purposes) meaning you can use it, however; Im no lawyer and I could be completely wrong[spoiler]bump[/spoiler]
