There are a handful of companies and developers without whom the industry would not exist as it does today, and Justin is one of those. I'm disappointed, but not really surprised, to see some of the sentiments being batted around on list. Essentially, like always, everyone wants something for nothing, and never mind the time, effort or trouble that Justin put into the games over the past dozen years, whether or not he has released anything new recently. The shortsightedness of the community is to its detriment. Kids won't be kids forever. Perhaps Justin is reserving the right to return to creating and/or updating these games eventually, when his kids are grown. Perhaps he just wants to be fairly compensated for the hours he spent developing them in the first place. Whatever his reasons or movations, I have no doubt that some of you will pirate the heck out of these games without a thought to their creator. Should Activision give away the Infocom collection for free? Should Nintendo allow anyone to make clones of NES or SNES cartridges of the old Super Mario Brothers Games? Maybe Paramount should give up the rights to Star Trek the Next Generation, after all, they aren't making that series anymore. Rather than calling justin greedy for giving folks the chance to do the right, legal, and ethical thing and purchase games they may want before their gone for a ridiculously reduced price, you should all be thanking him for the hours of entertainment and enjoyment he brought to you over the years. Personally, I'd like to thank Justin for paving the way for developers like me to do what we love. I don't think it is him who is being greedy. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
