uDraw Owns Your Art
THQ's uDraw tablet has been successful for the publisher, but parents buying the peripheral for their children should know this unfortunate detail: The device sticks a big uDraw watermark on your creations.
According to the GeekDad column over at Wired, when you export your pictures via an SD card (if you want to hang them on your fridge, for example), the images get emblazoned with a big watermark. The image above is the result.
This is disappointing…what's the point of trying to draw something cool if you know it's going to get branded down in the corner?
We didn't encounter this problem during our tests of uDraw, but that's because we were busy, uh, being totally mature.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
