Damn what's up with the popularity of CDRs and attempting to price gouge
people....
Just a few weeks back I bid on a copy of Dracula-X on eBay. I didn't win the
game, but after the auction I got hit with emails from people "offering" to
make me CDR copies for as low as $80... WTF? Then I go on vacation for two
weeks, get back, wade through the emails and I see a Turbo List note from
George Palamara offering CDR copies of SFZ for $65. What did I miss?
If you're going to pirate for the fun of it, fine whatever floats your boat,
I could care less. But when low life pirates start selling their stuff any
and all claims of trying to "help the scene" (as flimsy as those claims are
in the first place) go right out the window. Any pirate who is selling a CDR
for more than the 50 cents it cost to buy that disc is in it for pure profit
plain and simple and is trying to screw as many people as possible.
If and when you do come across a rare/prototype game feel free to tell
people about it, show it off, take screen caps whatever. We all want to know
about it. But shit, don't try to pirate and sell it. One of the main reasons
why I liked this list is because it was (or at least I thought it was)
filled with people who cared about the integrity of the games they owned and
played. Is money really that much of a motivator for people to turn to
piracy?
