I have read and understand GitHub’s Guide to Filing a DMCA notice.
I am contacting you on behalf of CD PROJEKT S.A.
CD PROJEKT S.A. is globally known as the creator and owner of “The Witcher” series, which have together sold over 11 million copies in the world, received high critical and grassroots acclaim, and garnered over 200 awards and accolades. Owing to this success CD PROJEKT S.A. has become one of the most respected videogame development studios in the world, establishing a reputation for keen attention to user feedback. “The Witcher” brand may be viewed as a well-known mark internationally.
Furthermore, CD PROJEKT S.A. also owns copyright to the “Gwent” card game, which is a part of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” video game (see: http://en.cdprojektred.com/news/lets-talk-gwent/). The physical cards for “Gwent” were a part of Xbox One collector edition of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” and “The Wither 3: Hearts of Stone” Expansion Pack.
In general, we do not have anything against creation of fan work, and we highly appreciate the dedication and creativity of our fans. However, “Gwent” was created intentionally as a part of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”. Should we ever decide to have also a standalone multiplayer version of “Gwent”, we would like it to come from our studio.
We have noticed, that GitHub user exane (https://github.com/exane) has posted a standalone multiplayer version of “Gwent” card game, which includes copyrighted material exclusively owned by CD PROJEKT S.A. Here is a link to the aforementioned content:
