While we provide the platform for these games to be played, the copyright for the specific game logic, art, and narrative remains with the original creator. We do not claim ownership over these legacy titles.
3. Curated Collections: The specific arrangement, categorization, and thematic grouping of games on https://yogigames.net constitute a curated database, which is protected as a unique compilation of work.
