The vibe I get from enigmaxtreme "sorry, lulz, I'm too good for you to be bothered from you mere peasants. You know, because I have access to a good printer, I might as well be selling my covers. And as there are my covers, I'll be shamelessly plugged my overpriced website as a result. People need to eat during the pandemic".
The vibe I get from BoubouV12, which makes total sense is "what the fuck dude, I can't click to download your photos. When I 'right click to open image', it comes up with an error? You also have your own barcode on there... which is not what we are looking for here on TheCoverProject? This cover is otherwise awesome, but it seems that you forgot the logo "4J Studios" on Perfect Dark! Would you mind adding it in there?"
We don't see Bear adding random Bears into his covers. You don't see me watermarking the subliminal male genitalia into my scans. Lay off the 'roids there P90X

To be honest, I don't care much about what you think.
You just seem to look for any excuse to reprimand people. Nothing new here...
No, nobody has to provide covers the way you or any of us demand. If he wants to put his logo on his stuff, that is his prerogative.
You do not have to like it, but you also have no right to demand anything else from him. If people end up not using them because of it, then it is his time wasted, not yours. :)
But a lot of people seem to be fine with it. Enigma shares his custom Nintendo Switch covers over on Reddit. With his logo and without people complaining. (NintAndBox.net also puts their logo on every scan they host by the way. And they host retail scans, not custom covers.) So it is not unheard of...
And as for selling his covers.
Yeah, it would have made a better impression, if he had shared something, before promoting himself. But in general I do not have a problem with him selling his own stuff.
--- Quote from: BoubouV12 on February 08, 2021, 09:45:59 PM ---Okay that's great what does, but for me adding an unofficial logo on a cover is unpleasant.
It doesn't give the impression that he's an official. And I won't change my point of view on that!

I is just your tone, that threw me off. :)
First you seem pissed, that nobody answered your request, with making a cover yourself and a sarcastic "Thanks for your help!". Then you are mad about the one guy who does try to help.
Just try to ask nicely next time.
And don't take it personally, when noboy answers your request. Unfortunately there are a lot more people asking for stuff, then there are people providing anything. So it is not unusual, that requests remain unfulfilled.

Au contraire, you're the one telling BoubouV12 to check his tone for no reason. At all. Way to be friendly there bud. Extremely hostile right out the gate. Even months ago, but hey, that's how you roll.

Then don't share. We host covers for free, that anyone can download and print. We are not looking for a profit, and we are not plastering our names on our covers. When fresh meat pulls up and basically to our faces says "sorry, lulz, you guys are idiots for not capitalizing on this opportunity", we are burned out and not in the mood. We don't mind custom covers, but if you can't even take the time to follow the simple gd rules, then why are you even posting.

A lot of people... right... did we hit page 2 of replies? That's sure is a lot of people. TheCoverProject is not Reddit. What you are in essence PX0 saying is that we need to place the milk carton on every cover, because unline NintAndBox.net, TheCoverProject is doing it wrong.

We don't care he sells covers. Nobody cares. No one here wants to buy them. Nobody wants to help him here (so that he can make a profit). Do you own thing bud, we don't care. We don't see Wiggy posting Jabba the Hutt on all of his custom covers that he sells thanks to the Earthbound debacle. You don't see Shenske watermarking every.single.NES.cover he has created and freely shared to the group. It's not something that we do, and it's not something we (as a community) want to move to. The covers are free. Download them, print them, $$$$$$, profit, we don't care. It's highly annoying when someone points out "lulz, I have access to the printer [from work], so why not use it for my gains?" *rolls eyes.

Okay that's great that you think that his tone is off, but for me adding an unwarranted "fix your bad attitude" is unpleasant.
It doesn't give the impression that you really care for new people. And I won't change my point of view on that!

His cover totally rocks? Lol? Why didn't you yell at me over here, because me saying where's my unwarranted "fix your attitude dude" to my "Was able to scan a copy" reply?

Um, what? BoubouV12 already posted a cover. He was trying to explain to enigmaxtreme that you should probably put the developer logo on there. He wasn't asking for a simplified Wiggy custom (which are awesome in their own artform), he was looking for a retail cover to print. If you can't take 2 seconds out of your day to remove a barcode that promotes your self-entitled side job, then are you really.. contributing here?
--- Quote from: Arseen on January 27, 2021, 08:24:00 AM ---1: This site is for preservation of covers for older consoles, that and that we have very limited time to edit and fix covers, is why we "neglect" newer ones.
2: Shadowfox gives us also covers, not just takes. He also makes the best cases available and buys us raw material.
3: So far enigmaxtreme has shown covers done by himself but not sold any made by us, right?

Also, to throw Arseen in here (20,000 posts is not enough) and respond to him regarding item 3, I'll just post these here...

Also to ensure you are not sexist, don't take it personally when nogirl answers either.
Unlike PX0, I'll say thank you for the rockin' cover BoubouV12, no clue how he missed it in your post. Would you mind sharing the full link so others can download?
PX0:
It seems to me like you are having a stroke, so I am not gonna reply to this nonsense. :)
I think it you are completely wrong on this, as usual, and I just wanted Enigma to know, that you do not speak for all of us.
Arseen:
STOP FIGHTING KIDS... NOW!!!
Now both say you're sorry (even if you don't mean it) :P
ShoothimNow:
Trying to understand how to read that Arseen... Stop Fighting Kids... as in stop punching babies?
Slow (Down,) Children are Playing
or
Slow Children are Playing.
Regardless, Sorry. Don't be telling people to check their tone and then instantly reply in a condescending tone. As I will say exactly what you just typed, you do not speak for all of us.
