Lame Case World is gone! (at least for now)

Good riddance!  You will not be missed.


So does this mean that I can post her "ultra rare" Earthbound cover again?  I still have it uploaded in full res, it's just tough to find unless you know what you're looking for ;)

I wonder how much she thinks she can get for the LLC?  Let's all chip in 2 bucks and buy it :P

"UGC’s are going up in price so we would either lose money on every case we sent out, or  have to raise our prices.

Postage is about to go up and that means less profit for us or higher costs for our customers."

UGS prices going up i can understand, but that wouldn't be by what, $1.00 a case?

are shipping prices really going up too? That was the same thing mediashelfing said when they raised the prices of their cases.

You mean they didn't make enough money stealing everyone's work to stay afloat?  Aww...Wolf so sad.  :'(

You know, a small part of me (VERY small) was hoping they would be around when Seymor's cases were released to help him generate more sales.  The other 98% of me, however, is going 'neener neener neeeeenerrrr'! ;D  Of course, there are still other sites (at least one that I know of) that will just keep going at least for now, but that doesn't diminish what just happened.  Maybe all the legal fees they had to pay out when trying to sue wiggy was just too much to bear? ;)

HA, I never even received a letter from them even though that's what I was promised.  I even PM'd them my address.

They're fools and her immature rantings about being a pampered artist that doesn't need to work and who is allowed to just dick around and make "art" just goes to prove how lazy she is.  So busy doing nothing that she can't continue stealing other people's work.  Blows my mind.   The stress must have been unbearable.  I can't imagine all that downloading, then file opening, THEN printing!  The horror!

IKR?!  That shit kills me.  I'll refer back to the super high quality BS Excitebike custom that they did as an example of their "expertise"...

You forgot the hassle of having to go down to Costco and get all that 'high quality paper' they used. ;)

I guess it's true what they say, though, what goes around does come around.  You gotta admire her conviction towards herself, if not the accuracy.  She maintained that she was the best there ever was, and there ever will be, even to the bitter end.  Well guess what 'Paula'...you're gone and we're still here!  I reiterate my aforementioned 'neener neener neeeeenerrrrr' and punctuate it with a 'na na na na naa naaaaaa' and finish with a gesture whereupon I place my thumbs on my temples, fan out my fingers, and proceed to wiggle them in a taunting manner.

"I have designed over 100 game covers including the ultra rare earthbound prototype "

Even better is how they go on about being a designer, hell by that description I must be the next Picasso with as many covers as I have printed out and "customized" to a case. They complain of UGC price increase but I would bet they are the sole reason for such. Mediashelving see's crazy influxes of UGC orders then checks ebay and sees the profit margins like lamecaseworld are making, grats price increase.

Sure, we cant stop people from selling covers but glad to see someone with such a horrible reputation take the fall.

Man, her arrogance is staggering...

I wonder if there are customers of hers seeing this that are reading this, thinking, "truly we have lost one of the most inspired artists of our age this day."  ::)

And since I can't resist a classic Star Wars reference,



This will be a day long remembered... It has seen the end of GameCaseWorld, and it will soon see the end of other stealing cover sellers....

My favorite line was how she said that her entire day was dedicated to her "business".  I mean we're they really that busy and getting that many orders that their entire day was spent "designing", printing and cutting covers? 

And I'm pretty curious as to how much she's going to sell her "business" for...I can't imagine it'd be anything much...most of our video game collections are probably worth more then her LLC

Look on the bright side, they posted a bunch of raw scans.
I'm going through and getting them all before they are removed.

Some how, I may have had a hand in this, telling their customers of this site and all that...they may have had to pay back several people on several occasions.

oh man, this is epic

"I know open source community you’ll hope that by us  publishing everything there is to know + MORE, on game case creation that our competition will take a hit. "

"By posting rants and information about our web site on your forums you drove traffic to us again and again and helped our Google ranking climb.  As you bash and get angry at other sellers, you will help their business and lend credence and legitimacy to what they do even if it’s the opposite of your intention.  By having NO user agreement for uploading or downloading covers unlike other Open Source distribution web sites.  Most of this is due to the nature of game cases and copyright infringement worries.  The only answer for Open Source web sites is to figure out how to exploit the selling of game cases to promote the making of game cases.  With limited organization and bad Google rankings the few sites attempting to do this aren’t reaching a wide audience. Additionally by incentivizing sellers to put links on their web sites to your covers you would get traffic.  However, admins of sites like this have not only condoned verbal vomit on their forums but also buying up original works that were hand drawn, then scanning them in, and freely distributing them after spending pages about how bad the artist is.  Namely myself.  THEN you want me to link to your web site. "

"The Writing is On The Wall

The future has arrived.  Game cases and the distribution and collection of libraries of games will grow tremendously in the years to come.  For those who think it will stay quiet and no one will seek to capitalize on that popularity are fools.  People who can truly benefit from the game case covers and processes will push the hobby forward world wide.  So don’t be worried about the dozens of users cropping up selling game cases.  Most of them suck anyway, but there will be ones that won’t.

Where can you still get game cases?  Although he competes with us and writes silly diatribes against us (which we love) I would suggest going to retrogamecases.com for your game cases.  We’ve competed with him for a long time and it’s been real.  He does however make a decent game case and decent NES case.  He’s also honest and isn’t in it to make a quick buck.  He actually likes the game cases he works with, so I have to give him +1 for that.  To Retro – get an SSL certificate! "

Wonder if I should send her a case of tampon, serious bleeding going on
