It is a low resolution copy of a game cover.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original game.
It illustrates educational articles about the game from which the cover illustration was taken.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
