Legal Clicker Avoidance Tactics
Naughty Dog’s 2023 lawsuits shut down 14 workshops. Current workarounds:
Sell “generic survivor” base model ($4k) Offer “apocalypse upgrade kits” ($6k+) Modify key features: 7-string guitar instead of Ellie’s 6-string Different moth wing patterns “Infected” skin texture optionsPro tip: Use motion capture data from public domain zombie films to avoid exact movement replication.
