So here's what has happened with nipe, if anyone is interested...

By the way, the trap is set.  That is all

...I'm not sure what you're up to here, but I've got a bad feeling about it...

Likewise, hope it doesn't bite us in the butt.

I noticed that thier YouTube videos now have comments from them stateing that their covers crome from all over the internet.  Including TCP. Althought they don't mention that TCP is free. 

[kittybones26]

They are deleting comments being made for their youtube videos....but they at least acknowledge in a comment they left that their covers come from many places on the internet....including thecoverproject dot net.

[kittybones26]

Must have struck a nerve as they have disabled comments for all of their videos.

[FFXIK]

Why am I not surprised.  Oh nohs we've been found out defensive positions.

[Arseen]

Has anyone reported to ebay they are selling pirated stuff, which the cover basicly borderline are?

[FFXIK]

@ Arseen most likely not.

The only way to really combat this is to make people more aware of TCP.  People will come here whn they know it's free than pay for his nonsense.

Suggestion how to do that?

A lot of gamers go to YouTube.  Post videos.

Video game forums, make topics talking about the mission of TCP.  Spreading the word mostly.

Enough press should be able to bury GCW after a while.

I realize that this would have to be a concentrated effort by the site as a whole.  Ebay isn't out of the picture either.  GCW is selling well above the cost.  If people want to buy them from Ebay, then TCP "could" sell their own covers undercutting GCW by a large margin.  I know the sites stance on this that is why I propose it as an option.  Lets face it a lot of people are lazy.  GCW is proof of this.

I noticed you commented on Vahn43's review of the cases, so did I. We should totally inform people about how he is ripping them off with these and not even crediting the artists who made the templates.

Yes, they also deleted my comment from their video a few hours after I posted it.

I noticed,  I'm just trying to get word out there.  I love how they gave credit to other sources including TCP then disabled comments.  THose types annoy me to no end.

If you would like to contact us for attribution our e-mail is sales@gamecaseworld.com
We're people and gamers too and mean you no ill will and are very sorry that this thread has become so heated. 

If it does make you feel better the business will be closing in about 4-5 months when our game cases are gone.  Because of the copyright issues here in the US, we're not going to continue selling game cases, and indeed this web site will be lucky to survive. 

Regards, game case world

The only thing these people ask for is credit for their work.  Which you failed to do, and probably never would have bothered with had this not kinda blown up like this.  They don't want their works sold, but they aren't going to rally to shut you down.  They try to stay as neutral as possible.  You took advantage of that.

Situation rectified.  Please go re-like the poor guy's vids.  I think he's quite rattled.  Sorry about the nerdrage.  We're a passionate bunch

This is an OLD account that I didn't even realize that I had.  I've been trying to register on the forums for quite some time so that these custom covers we've done can be uploaded and added to TCP.  Now that we have this login, expect to see uploads in various forum topics soon.

Welcome to the site and sorry for the borderline illegal hazing
