#Boycott advance volume code#
Of corse the games tended have all graphics and sound replaced, and a lot of extra debugging, and sometimes game code slapped in by the Microprose folks, but the original author still got a per-box cut.Īnd that ain't the only thing. When I use to work at Microprose (at, not for, I was in the same building, doing CoinOP games for what was in theory some sort of spin off) people still did bring in independently written games and negotiate some of the resale profits for themselves. For other games the author may well not have signed away all rights. The "author's baby" argument is purely emotional, and does not make sense.įor some games.
They signed them away when they agreed to perform work for hire. I'm sure I could come up with a few more viewpoints.but I have to eat breakfast, and fire up Hitchhikers on my Z-machine. Maybe it is about the rights of the authors of the program? Didn't they sweet blood? Don't they have the right to say who can play the game, and who should take a hike? On the.hind paw.maybe it isn't about the money. Then clearly your illegal act has made the copyright holder (and 8 middle men) a few cents. Then your wife/mother/girlfriend catches you, and makes you buy it. On the gripping hand, maybe you never would buy the game, but you illegally copy it. What makes you think you really know what games you will and won't buy if you don't illegally copy them? Lots of people who think they can quit smoking can't. Lots of people that don't think they can quit drinking can. On the other hand, what if you are wrong? What if only having access to that Playstation game at your friends house finally wears at you, and you go out and buy a playstation (they are cheep now after all!) and the game? I mean a lot of people are wrong about themselves.
Who loses anything if I play the game in an emulator? Let's say I kinda like playing one Playstation game now and then but would never buy a console plus the game just for that.
