UGC creators are entering a legal minefield in 2025 — from Odell Beckham Jr. lawsuits to Fortnite and Roblox platform policy changes — things are moving fast.

In this episode of The Creative Juice Podcast, I sit down with video game lawyer Adam Starr to break down what every UGC creator, indie studio, brand partner, and platform executive should know before building their next game.

We answer the big questions nobody likes to talk about in public:
• Who really owns a Fortnite Creative or Roblox game?
• Can Disney, Sega, Nike, Nintendo, or the NFL legally shut you down?
• Are branded mods and IP actually safe to use under “fair use”?
• At what point does a creator need a publisher, contract, or rev-share deal?
• What legal mistakes do UEFN & Roblox devs make (without knowing)?
• Is UGC becoming a “real” games industry… or a lawsuit waiting to happen?

Whether you are a Fortnite Creative dev, Roblox studio, brand team, lawyer, or just curious about the business side of user-generated games — this episode will change how you look at ownership, contracts, and creator rights.
