Dear all,

but have to get permission of doing so.

For 1 months i tryied to contact Sid or 2K support, but noone replied to me.

Questions: do you think i really have to get permission to use the cover like this?

if "yes" please advice the best way. Already have a delay in printing it...

Yeah, you definitely have to get permission to use their images.

I do not think that they own the art rights; the original studio is owned by Activision.

Have left a message for the guys at 2K, let's see if they know.

Found this and it is confusing, but interesting.

on the other hand, who's going to sue you?

BTW, where did you get the pic from? The river is not as how it is in the game.

Good day gnom,

Thank you very much for your inquiry. Unfortunately, you cannot utilize that image for your new book, as permission was not granted after consulting our legal team. Nonetheless, we sincerely thank you for reaching out to us with this question.

Good luck on your new novel and have a fantastic day.

Thank you for your time.
