Devsisters enforces explicit boundaries regarding intellectual property. Under the official Devsisters terms of service and user-generated content rules, the studio permits non-commercial, transformative tributes such as cosplay, standard fan art, and gameplay streaming. However, the policy draws a firm line against adult depictions.
The company explicitly bans material that harms brand integrity or features sexually explicit, hateful, or defamatory content. The Cookie Run Kingdom fan art policy classifies unauthorized commercial ventures, like Patreon-locked uncensored illustrations or physical prints sold at fan conventions, as trademark and copyright infringement. Because the characters in the game are often portrayed with childlike innocence or lack explicit biological ages, mature depictions present serious brand risks.
Devsisters regularly issues takedown notices to third-party art-sharing platforms, print-on-demand stores, and portfolio sites. When adult creators package these illustrations behind subscription paywalls, corporate legal teams view it not merely as a terms-of-service infraction, but as illegal monetization of protected corporate assets.
