Stupid Idiots

[Faz`]

It has come to my attention many kids are aquiring the "Street Gangs" template made by rpg-style. That template sells for $30, so its not very smart you kids passing it around. Now, piracy is everywhere, but seriously stop passing it around. This forum is getting worse and worse day by day. Eido, your game is one and some guy called "Casey" on msn tells me you've been passing it around.

Seriously, you didn't pay for your game, and you're not gonna pay for a template. Now grow and actually try to pay for something for once. Stupid noobs.

Re: Stupid Idiots

Piracy will happen...People just need to be honest when saying "I will not distribute or resell this"... On here, i think 1/2 of the people do this, 1/2 don't.

Off topic: I'm looking for a good GFX designer for an in-game and out of game layout (register + login) and I will not redistribute or resell this. PM me, my budget is around $50. RPGstyle does good stuff, but he's too busy to do one for me.

Re: Stupid Idiots

Yeah he does, but he's not been on msn for a while, so that must mean he's busy. There are a few, but not at your price. I was talking to killah, and if you want a real kick ass template, check out www.sosfactory.com their prices are really cheap! xD

Re: Stupid Idiots

There are many simple ways to download and acquire a script or a layout that you wish to use, due to the amount of warez spreaders and supporters around here. I think it just comes with the territory. There will always be some broke/cheap/bored people who will share illegally, things rather than pay for them. I used to use bootleg copies of Photoshop, aswell as a nulled version of FTP before my work bought me a copy because I couldn't afford the real thing so I'm not claiming to be totally innocent of this. I think for the most part people still buy modifications and scripts because it's gauranteed, and the honest thing to do. There will always be a segment who can't or won't pay for something... and usually those people who get these scripts weren't gonna be sales anyway so I don't think the loss is too bad for the person... My point being I am honest, and $30 or whatever is not alot to pay so even if I was offered it for free I would still pay... Make Sense? In short I personally thin the rest and the more honourable members of the community will gladly pay for the scripts because the developers deserve to be paid and it encourages them to continue making awesome stuff.

Believe it or not piracy sometimes turns out to an advantage as it can be used as a marketing tool for the sellers to gain market share,it is being used by a few guys alike to gain popularity. Look at MC scripts... It is blatantly an illegal script now but due to that Dabo and CB may get the advantages as now everyone here knows of them and may join their future projects such as MD for example. This is my opinion and your opinion may vary, and I dont condome piracy and warez either... However writting a topic for every illegal script acquired is stupid.

And its stupid because idiots that pass around scripts will always exist. However they wont really affect the developer, as those guys wouldnt buy the product anyway... Just like big movies make billions despite the fact that they are pirated. If it can be viewed, it can be pirated. It is up to the develop what he wishes to do and he will deal with it accordingly, I think he himself will come across this topic and decide how to deal with it, and the only way to do so, is to take legal action. :)

You have to learn that you cannot stop it. It is not just this community, it is throughout the world. As I mentioned earlier, think of it this way, how comes Microsoft is pirated yet it still makes so much money, how comes the movie industry is doing so well even though a large proportion of its business belongs to the piracy theifs. You cannot stop it, so its better just to learn how to cope with it. I am not here to tell you what to do, as you can make up your own mind... But if you are just going to give up then you surely wont make any money at all. Just take legal action against whom commits the alledged crime.

Well no matter how good their templates are, I think you tried to brand their name in the wrong sector. The community here arent the ones who will spend that kind of money on a game overall let alone a template by itself. Although I do admit they do create awesome layouts.

 

People just need to be honest when saying "I will not distribute or resell this"

Those who will commit the theft wont be trustworthy... that is obvious. Honesty is the best policy however it wont work in these kind of situations kid. I mean you can take an oath but easily ignore it - for example an oath is broken everyday via marriage. :D
