Suppose I make a video game which uses assets from another game. The assets are however not included, but rather obtained by loading them from the other game's install folder (the player needs to have bought and installed the other game too). My game is a fan-made sequel to the old game, which was discontinued.


No assets or code from the original game are included in mine. Can this still be considered copyright infringement?



Is loading assets from another game's install folder copyright infringement?
