All I'll say is that a non-gamer should never even attempt to actually sell a game. He usually screws up and makes everyone mad in the process. Now, he'll get fewer, I'm willing to bet, purchases of his Jaws-fetishist product than he would have if he'd stuck to his element and just kept

Hi Dark, I agree. Selling Q9 as a separate product might do him more good than including it as an add-on for Leasey, but apparently he thinks otherwise. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to care what we think and I don't see that situation changing any time soon. As for your feelings on the matter

Hi Josh, The problem with your argument is this. Regardless if you take something physical or not if you take something that belongs to a person be it an idea, song, a story, or a piece of software it is still considered steeling because according to the law you have an obligation to pay for it.
