I have no idea how to go about looking for
someone's email if they don't want you to have it.
true if its somewhere I may be able to hack the
website but its never that simple.
how did you do it.

again, this touches on my point as well.
While I personally would like to see these games
stay supported for the community, I have to
wonder, what in the world many people here expect of developers?
Why is it right to treat Justin with such
negativity? This is the sort of thing I'm getting at.
Can we not offer positive support and suggestion
here rather than constant and obnoxious criticism and derision?
Why would anyone want to be involved with a
community of insistent nay-sayers when all we
need do is approach this another way?
For myself, rather than argue and complain, I
searched out Justin's email address, first by
asking people and then, when that failed, I kept
looking on my own and finally I found it. I
contacted him and politely / positively brought
up the consideration of selling the company or
rights to the games so that they can continue to be supported.
I don't even play Windows games. I did this for this community
This is what I'm suggesting when I mention
getting involved. Rather than complain, take
initiative for ourselves, and do something
positive. Even if it's only a little thing but
make a situation better not worse. Just do the best you can
-Make sense?
Thanks,
Cara :)

You could only say you're being forced to
re-purchase products you already own if he was
charging the full price
but he isn't. Not even
close. You're effectively getting the majority of the products for free.
But regardless, I've said my piece. I didn't
expect many to agree with me. Carry on. :)

want just so that they can get the code
generator in order to keep playing their
favorite titles on new machines. I myself would
happily pay, if I could be assured of getting
only those titles that I wanted, those being
the code generator and possibly Day-by-Day
Professional, because I already purchased the
five major titles. It's not the fact that we
have to pay that's got most of us upset so much
as the fact that we're having to repurchase
titles we purchased years ago on top of any new products we might want.

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.

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.

Paramount should give up the rights to Star
