About

3DIVISION is an independent video game developer & publisher focusing on development of PC and console games, including their titles Air Conflicts and Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.

The opportunity

3DIVISION’s game Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, along with YouTube content creators posting videos about the game, received unexpected Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notices from a dissatisfied player alleging copyright violations. By law, these notices caused Steam to make the game unavailable for sale.

How we helped:

Sparring provided an immediate consultation on the merit of the DMCA takedown notice. As a next step our team then helped 3DIVISION file a DMCA counter-notice.

We also negotiated and drafted an agreement to prevent any further takedown notices, avoid costly litigation, and restoration of the game.
