well at least blindsoftware did have some presence for a bit,
podcasts, other guides and other things.
I may buy again if he comes back but he will have to offer something
which is not the same as he has done in the past.
and ofcause when he comes back if more devs are active his place will
be filled.

and releasing Chillingham 2 after basically falling off the face of

would buy from them either.
But thou must!

I will bet that if he decides to reopen his business in the future, even if
he comes out with new games, his current actions will drastically cut into
sales. I, for one, would be hesitant to purchase from a company based on
his current actions. Although he is making the software and key generator
available, I would think that, given the fact that most gamers in this
community are low income, more time should be given before closing the
doors. JMO.

What a control Freak!
So in the nutshell, what justin is saying is this.
I'm in charge of the BSC website and blind software! I can do what
I want! I can close it down, bring it back up! or pull out of the
business as I please, and guess what! I'm gonna be a mean sun of a
you-know-what and keep the encryption secrets to myself, so you
won't even be able to access my sound pack unless you play the game
of course. so There. na na na naaaa naaa.
nobody and I repeat nobody is to hand out the keygen program to
anyone who hasn't bought it first! if you have been away from your
computer and come back after May 17th and were unlucky enough not
to hear about the last chance offer to buy my games and keygen program,
Then, tough cookies! you've missed the boat. You won't be able to
download and play any of my games ever again! They're gone forever!
and when I say forever, I mean forever!

I suppose it's a good thing he's closing up shop then. Because
it's been my observation that a strict policy like that is a sure
fire way to encourage piracy. It does mean that I won't be able to
install BSC games on a new computer if and when I get one.
Definitely disappointing. And given the fact that most of us are
on fixed incomes I didn't expect Justin to bring in many
purchases. This could hurt his profits eve more.
But thou must!

Subject: [Audyssey] An Announcement Regarding BSC Games
Hello everyone,
I just finished speaking to Justin, and I thought I owe it to you to
tell you were we stand regarding the BSC games.
First, there is the issue of licensing. I asked him if he would allow
Audyssey.org to purchase the key generator for $75 and issue new keys
to people as needed. Unfortunately, he will not allow us to issue new
keys, and he has said in effect that if people want new keys for
Troopanum, Hunter, Pipe, whatever that they should purchase the key
generator he is selling right now for $75. No exceptions are being
made for the licensing of his games.
Second, there is the issue of licensing the sounds and music for the
games. Justin will not sell those to a third-party developer, nor
allow anyone access to the *.bsc pack files containing the sounds. So
recreating the games with the original sounds and music is pretty much
not possible.
Finally, Justin wants to retain his intellectual copyrights for
Troopanum, Hunter, Pipe, Deekout, Crazy Darts, etc so redistributing
his games or rewriting them is not legal under copyright law. I just
thought you should know where we all stand in terms of these games.
In summary while I know some of you may feel angry, upset, and perhaps
disappointed at this news do remember we still have many other great
developers like Draconis, GMA, Jim Kitchen, Blind Adrenaline, to name
a few. Hopefully they will continue to write great games, and if we
want more games remember there are a number of tools like the BGT
toolkit and the Dragon Flame Engine out there to help create new and
interesting games. We could even create games as good as if not better
than those we are losing with these tools. So try and be positive
rather than look at this as a negative experience.
Cheers!
