Reply to Why can't devlopers just remake the clasics? in Life, the Universe and Everything WinCustomize Forums

Nothing is stopping you from popping in those classics again either guys! I've frequently played older games here and there just for nostalgia and even look for older ones to pick up again if you've since sold them. From old zelda games to my favorites on PS1 like FF Tactics and FF7 to Shadow of the Colossus. Luckily I have a backwards compatible PS3. But I also picked up a SNES on ebay for pretty cheap along with some oldy RPGs like chrono trigger and secret of m

First of all, I'm not arguing for piracy or taking any sides. It's clear that it is wrong. I'm arguing that stealing is not the same as copyright infringement involved in duplication of intellectual property. Many people on this discussion have already tried to equate the two and this is FALSE. Like someone else said, if a kid downloads a song illegally they're going to get all these outrageous fines etc, but if a kid steals that cd from a store, he'd li

Philly... For one, laws are created depending on what is conceived as JUST. Justice is something that depending on who you talk to, you will get a completely different viewpoint. Laws therefore can be flawed, and not necessarily take into account a moral right and wrong which I would say has more value intellectually than a piece of writing that was agreed upon once upon a time. You are aware I'm sure of some laws that were written that were later changed because the

You're running around the moral point though. It is not THEFT at all. You're not going taking money out of the company's wallet. They are trying to equate this with diminishing it's projected profits. You just told me sharing a CD is not illegal. But it's consequences for the company are the same in any case. Instead of a friend having to buy the CD to listen to it, he is able to enjoy it for free. Is that not the point? Otherwise there is

Some of you are equating the clicking of a button as harmful as emptying a company's bank account... The truth is people have limited funds which to spend however they can and are naturally going to try to get as much as they can for as little as possible. People will spend their money on something eventually... just because they didn't spend it on a CD or a Movie (that they can't afford in the first place) doesn't mean the economy is going to suffer or that business is going

Here's my current desktop. I took another Aion Online wallpaper and ran with it. It's similar to my other version but the main color is blue this time. Recolored Kayanite II with Carbon-ite IP with some added Yahoo widgets. Kept the Ivory CFX, I really like this cursor. <a href="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc

This is a mix of skins I call MechaMetroid. The main two are Vampothika's WB titled Mechanoid, and a tribute to metroid wallpaper named Glass Metroid. The IP is also Vampothika's new Hybrid Nights. Also added are a dark rainy, an ipod DX, and Fireball sysmetrix. The cursorFX is Obsidian which I am also very fond of. Comments and criticism welcome! <img src="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc109/SilverI3ullet/MechaMetroid.jpg" alt="" widt

My current desktop. I've posted it in the screenshots gallery but I decided to post it here as well and see what people think. It's a mix of recolored Mera WB with an EVE Online background among a few other things.
