Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) The Messenger (2018 video game)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This GIF will help illustrate the gameplay mechanics of The Messenger, including the appearance of the protagonist and the jumping mechanic, as well as the shift between the 8-bit and 16-bit graphical styles that are subject to commentary in the gameplay, development, and reception sections of the article.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The software or website from which the GIF is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The GIF is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original artwork. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. It is also the only file to be used in the Gameplay section of the article.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The use of a low resolution GIF from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
