| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To illustrate the capabilities of Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3, particularly the revision used for the Samaritan demo. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
So far the engine, and any assets used for the demo, are under copyright, and thus no public-domain images can replace it. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
It would be difficult to describe the engine through prose alone, hence the need for a fair-use image. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The screenshot will only be used for articles relevant to it, e.g. the aforementioned engine or on articles pertaining to their history. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
As it is a web-resolution static screenshot, it would be insufficient to produce pirated copies of any software using the file in question. |
