Because of this, the inclusion of the image in the article is crucial, as gameplay and interface is commonly referred to in the article.
2. No free or public domain images have been located to replace this image, nor could one be created and released under a free license that would provide the same or larger amount of information that this image provides. No free or public domain images can be located to replace this image, because Horseland, the license holder, has not released any images of the "Horseland Outfitters" interface and gameplay under a free license.
