| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Islands: Non-Places |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | Animated GIF depicts the surreal movement of the objects within the environment, which is discussed in the gameplay section. This specific scene is mentioned in the critical reception section as well. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
As the game is under copyright, any screenshot or clip from it will similarly be under copyright, so there is no way to obtain a free-license clip. An animated GIF is necessary as a simple screenshot is insufficient to demonstrate the style of the game and what is going on in the scene. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | * It is the only screencap from the game used in the article
|
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
Does not harm the commercial opportunity of the copyright holder because it reproduces only a short, looping slice of a much larger, more dynamic product. In addition, this gif is freely available on the artist's tumblr and in promotional material for the game, so it is not a case of taking content from behind a paywall. |
