Baldur's Gate 3

Portion used

The entire screenshot: because the image is taken from the game, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original screenshot. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

This screenshot depicts the turn-based mechanics of the combat and the implementation of the D&D 5th edition in video game form.. 

Replaceable?

As a screenshot, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the item in question would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.  The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.

Other information

A comparable screenshot exists in the Larian's official press kit. However, it is not used because it shows the combat in third-person perspective. While the player can use a limited free-floating camera (including third-person), most players would play the game from the isometric perspective most of the time; therefore, the press combat screenshot could be perceived as slightly misleading.

This screenshot was taken on PC, and it depicts version v4.1.1.3767641 of the game running on Linux under Proton. Most graphics settings, but not all, are at maximum/ultra. The game was not modded, or the screenshot otherwise modified. The original rendering resolution was 2560x1440. The in-game mouse is hidden.
