Beaties, I got a chance to watch your latest video and hear your thoughts on player images. I think allowing users to upload their own player pictures could be doable, and it's something I'd be willing to explore further.

Official team logos are a different matter, though. I researched this a while back, and there are some significant trademark and licensing concerns. One possible workaround might be to allow users to store their own logos locally in their browser rather than uploading them to ActionSims' servers. I'd still need to look into the legal implications, but that might be a way to make it work. The downside is that this could be a fairly fragile solution. If someone clears their browser storage, switches browsers, or moves to another device, those images could be lost or unavailable. So there are some practical issues to consider as well.

Still not a huge issue as it's pretty easy to restore them and if the game can recognize them, then all is well. Besides, I've been moving among devices for years with Action PC Baseball and images are a snap to restore.

As for logos, the user can either post them on a free image hosting site with an account or upload them like ballparks.

The ONLY thing Harlin you cannot do is distribute the logos when the game is monetized. You cannot be held liable for how an end user utilizes logos.
