...Wow... The points you brought up stood against mine, I don't have degrees like you but I know what an argument is, regardless if it's aggressive or friendly, it's still known as an argument. T_T? I agree though, time will tell when I finish my project on everything that was said in this post, and when these projects people are hyped about finish there's. | |

What he's saying is that it's the developers fault for leaking their own sources, not for choosing BYOND.

But it doesn't ruin BYOND to profit from them Yes, actually it does. Fangames making a profit, unless given explicit permission from the owner of that IP, is illegal. A perfect example of how it can ruin BYOND is exactly the point you are arguing - how the "freedoms", or rather the FUNimation games, were taken off of the main site. This happened because FUNimation ordered a Cease & Desist, which Tom had to obey or legal action that he couldn't afford would follow. No one can deny that the amount of users on the site dropped tremendously after that, although some would argue that it was for the best that they left. I personally don't feel that way. I also do not disagree with games being hidden at the discretion of the listing moderators. Understand the legality and repercussions of fangames (that make a profit) and you will finally see how they ruin BYOND. | |
Albro, he's not talking about BYOND profiting from fangames that profit. He's talking about profiting from fangames themselves. For example, their playerbase. It's really easy to bring the playerbase of fangames to like another game. Look at Decadence by SuperAntx for example. How many fangame players do you think played it? I guarantee you it was more than 80% of that game's playerbase until the day servers weren't really hosted anymore. I know because I myself was one of them. Once a game is making profit, I agree with you on shutting it down. But if it isn't making any profit(aside from the FUNimation ones, at this point), they shouldn't have been put behind everything else. Yeah, it's one thing to want to showcase original games, but there's literally close to none that you're showcasing to.

On-topic: I like the base. You've come a long way as an artist. I remember you weren't anywhere near as good as you are now. Good job!

Well if there were good fangames I wouldn't mind them being listed. Frankly I'm tired of seeing the same game over and over again, just renamed to some other stupid name. Variety in games is good but listing all of those games would only add about 2 games to the variety we have now.

Listed or not, original games(even the ones literally no one plays) get listed in front of them anyways. That's why I'm doing all of my advertizing outside of BYOND, because then I'd attract from both sides. | |

Not to mention the fact that BYOND's reputation around the web is: "you mean that spergy web hub where the same DBZ garbage is listed a thousand times?" The rips are mostly still using techniques and systems that were (poorly) designed for what BYOND was pre-3.5, and don't at all demonstrate what it can actually do now. It is a poor showing of the engine's power and flexibility as it stands. | |

What exactly are you confused about? The less confusion on this subject, the better. I was not paying attention at everyone's name and pics at all, it's how they make sense on what they write. So, I thought I had a dejavu, saw skyiden(or maybe albro)'s pic and I thought I saw this(name's different)guy somewhere on the forums already...ah nevermind... guys your pics just looks almost the same xD | |
*throws away old base* decided to make a new one now that im sort of back on the net again.

I actually really like this base. I like the idea of something different than the basic stance.

You do a bad job at understanding, and explaining, obviously.
