I want to make a game derived from an existing game. That game is owned by a live company.
How do I go about contacting the rights owners correctly and negotiating for the rights to the content?
Answer
Are there any legal ways to acquire the rights to make a derivative video game?
Yes, it's frequently done.
The game is owned by a live company, so how would I contact them correctly and negotiate for the rights to the content?
Find their contact information on the web. Typically with a "Contact Us" page. You're likely not going to find a "Use this number to contact us about making a derivative game". Find their main contact number and work your way through the channels. You may not be able to talk to anyone about it, they might reject you before then.
What are some different deals that we could make?
Lots, or none. Depends on what you have available to offer and what they're willing to offer.
