Very strange or better said suspicious.

He was not a complete noob afair. He was a kind of "regular" poster. Why would he delete is account all of a sudden.

@ thread:

I like this discussion pretty much as I always love to see some heated quarreling. ;D

Btw, he doesn't make much money off of these games.  I know him through other forums and this is a hobby to him.  That's why his games take 4-6 weeks to be made and shipped while 2 other well known repro sites get it done within the week.  I have bought stuff from him and have been very happy with his work, and would hate to not have his service as the other repro makers I trust, don't dabble in SNES.

I'm not going to read this whole thread, but let's remember that WE DON'T OWN THE ARTWORK. We have absolutely no legal stance to tell anyone out there what they can and can't do with the covers we provide. If someone is making a profit off them, that sucks but ultimately there is nothing we can do. Most people don't mind giving us credit so politely asking them to is about as far as you can take it.

wow you must really really really like him to just post about how happy he makes you :) 

all things aside, not saying this guy is like that, but if a customer is asking me how much money i make off of something, i'm not going to say, dude i'm making a shit load of money off your ass, i've got so many customers paying me so much that i'm backlogged for a few weeks !! ! ! ! ! !

i'm def going to say, meh, i dont make much money, its more fun for me ;)

and not much money could mean different to lots of ppl, to someone well off, making 20$ off a game is nothing, to a college student its tons


but i digress, i think there is def added profit to be made on a cart for selling it cib, and regardless of legality or not, it certainly is a slap in the face when you spend so many hours making a case for a repro game ( i find those are harder then most retail games as u have to create or translate alot) and someone else lays claim to it. 

i think it would be awesome of him if hes such a cool guy to add a link or button at the top of his page that at least links to this place, since tcp is helping his wallet grow, he could at least help the community and the database here grow :)

Video games have ruined my life.....good thing i have 2 more lives :D
