NEC-HE-shrine Re: Copies! A Dilemma! MUST READ for all!! Please.
Interesting points. We could always give ourselves a name, and release it like a warez thing. The only thing I'm worried about, is that it'd give us great leverage to get other things. One guy has already stated he'd rather trade for other "not-for-sale" Turbo products. What would be the best scenario: We all make a pact. NO copies for 3 months -- give me 3 months with this and i'm sure I can make something happen. I really want Silky Lip or PC Kokoron. Just my 2 cents -- anyone else care to comment? --- In xxxxxx@egroups.com, "Tabo Sanrio" <uranian@p...> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: ranmaddict@m... > To: nec-he-shrine > Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 4:58 PM > Subject: NEC-HE-shrine Copies!

Please. > > Look, the way I feel about it is like this: Yes I agree that this particular game is an exception to the no CDR rule that I steadfastly stand by for the reasons you have just described. Yeah, you are always going to have unscrupulous people out there that are going to try & make a buck in whatever way they can, & U & I R never going to stop that person from doing what they want. Like you said, NEC & Sega obviously could not resolve their issues, & us PCE fans got screwed (on top of that we were teased for years) so since the game was a complete wash, I dont see any harm here. By the same token, if they would have released the damned thing, & even asked some outrageous price for it, I would have been the 1st person to have purchased a copy, but that never happened. > > So, I think we allneed to agree and swear on our mothers names thatwe will not post this on DEFINTIELY any auction site, or anyother BBS's. > This may be a bit to read, but please read on. > > Personally, > > I would never copy this game for profit.
