Yes, games can be copyrighted. Copyright protection extends to the creative elements of a game, such as its storyline, characters, artwork, soundtracks, and software code. This means that others cannot reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works based on the copyrighted game without permission from the copyright holder.
For example, if a game developer creates a unique game with original characters and storylines, they hold the copyright to these elements. If another company tries to release a game with similar characters or a similar storyline without permission, it could be considered copyright infringement.
In the context of cloud computing, game developers might use services like Tencent Cloud to store and manage their game assets securely. Tencent Cloud's Object Storage service, for instance, offers a reliable and scalable solution for storing large amounts of data, including game files, ensuring that they are protected and easily accessible.
