Summary[edit]

Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article Development of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion[edit]

• Bethesda Softworks has not released any such images to the public domain
• The image is used to demonstrate the horse armor add-on pack's content
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game
• The image is a web-resolution image
• The image demonstrates how meager was the content in the first installment of Oblivion DLC. The image shows the sole item included in that DLC, the "horse armor" itself. It furthers the commentary in the sentence "Although gamers generally displayed enthusiasm for the concept of micropayments for downloadable in-game content, many expressed their dissatisfaction at the price they had to pay for the relatively minor horse armor package on the Internet and elsewhere." The "relatively minor" aspect of the release is demonstrated here, and would not be conveyed nearly as effectively without the image.
• The image's only purpose is to aid in the description of the "Horse Armor" pack for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and for no other purpose
• The image does not limit Bethesda's ability to sell the game, and they themselves have used the image for promotional purposes
