-Obtaining permissions can be a morally and legally ambiguous problem. If you DO NOT have permission, the creator(s) might be upset and you could get in legal trouble. But, if you DO ask for permission, the creator(s) might post about your event on their social media account or tell their friends about it, usually it's a win-win scenario! +Obtaining permissions can be a morally and legally ambiguous problem.

- +From a legal as well as a moral standpoint, you must give credit where credit is due. As a curator it is your job to include the name, year, platform, publisher (if applicable), and studio/creator name(s) for every game you exhibit. If you are highlighting a specific aspect of the game (e.g. its soundtrack), name the specific creator(s). If you are in communication with the creator, ask them specifically how they want to be credited.
