More than Just a Game 2026: Ross and Scott speak on creativity, present vibe-coded game

Ross Dannenberg and Scott M. Kelly returned to London for More than Just a Game 2026, where they used a vibe-coded game to teach about video game creativity issues.

KellDann attorneys Ross Dannenberg and Scott M. Kelly returned to London this year to attend More than Just a Game (“MTJG”) 2026, where they spoke on video game creativity, IP law, and even presented a “vibe-coded” (AI-generated) video game illustrating the issues inherent in video game copyright.

Ross and Scott’s Vibe-Coded Linelight Game

As part of their presentation, Ross and Scott presented their commissioned (and very vibe-coded) version of the fantastic video game Linelight (available on Steam here), using it as an opportunity to explore issues relating to video game creativity and copyright infringement.

The game can be played here: More Than Just a Game: The Game (aka, Ross and Scott Commit Copyright Infringement) by DebrisHauler. Ross and Scott’s demonstrative game was created with the permission of the creator of Linelight.

Their talk in many ways dovetailed with the amicus brief filed in Upper Deck v. Milton, which argued:

If games are entitled to full expressive parity for constitutional purposes under [Brown v. EMA], it is doctrinally incoherent and impermissible to treat them as second-class citizens for copyrightable subject matter. Interactivity does not erase authorship; it simply changes the canvas.
