Or any copyrights about having the website,where other people can buy the game? Im a bit scared,i need answers to these questions,i want to make my bussines in legal way. Please help me out!
You don’t mean “copyright”. If you created your game (and you have the right to sell it) then its yours. It is covered by copyright. It was the moment you made it.
Do you need any special legalities to create a website and sell your game? No. Build the site, toss in a download button, PayPal button, etc. Have fun.
As far as a company; its a little different from area to area. However, in US, you don’t need any special license or legal papers. The moment you decide to sell something, you, yourself, are a sole proprietorship. Your name is the company name. If you want employees or a different company name, then you’ll need to register that name, get an Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) etc, etc. I wouldn’t suggest that.
So just build the site and start selling your game. It really is that simple.
Thank you so much!
