Mainly the Japanese, by not doing translated versions of their games! Why
do those softwarehouses ignored the existance of MSX outside Japan? Don't
they know that they can earn lots of money?

That's why I always like cracking and copying, but just for stupid
distribution policies! Even through, I agree that copying is bad and
buying is good, but I expect some respect from the gamehouses, by
releasing its software simultaneously all over the world!
If the softwarehouses don't respect the potential buyers, why should we
respect them?
According to Sander, we should unite and ask directly the softhouses for
sales representatives, but I think that this kind of work is their
obbligation, not ours! And it's much easier for them to seek for us than
the opposite.
