So, 9 of the top 10 downloads are for custom covers...

[AppleQueso]

Those numbers have gotta be skewed somehow. They're all Wii games (save for SFA3 for Matching Service, a rather random title to get so many downloads...)

Wii Sports had no real cover in the US version so I think some of those downloads could be legit.

Secondly the Wii is the easiest thing to play backups on so.....

Uhh.... it was EXTREMELY hard for me to do anything with my neighbors Wii!!  First with Error: -002, then with a dead disc drive, and then again with a WBFS partition on a HDD from a HDD that already had 700GB of data on it.  Uhhh.... the Wii has gave me personally hell..

On the other hand, my 2 PSP's were right off the press with V1.50 Firmware - easy.  PS2 - swap magic + Free McBoot.  or even HDLoader.  Kind of Ironic that I would rant about this in the Rules Change Discussion

Wii was hacked almost from day one. It has been in the top downloads here since the first covers were made for it, especially with Wii Sports covers being linked from all over. The Street Fighter cover is from when someone brought TCP down by downloading that cover some 60,000 times.

Uh, dreamcast and sega cd are FAR easier to play backups on. You don't even need to mod them in any way.

[sheep2001]

sega cd and DC might be easier to play backups on, but high speed downloads weren't around when they were the latest consoles.

also - i think that SF3 cover for DC was flagged at the time it was posted - some bot went mad and DL'd it thousands of times in 24 hours.

[UncleBob]

What a weird cover to target a download attack on...

[tiktektak]

Maybe it was a bot who knew a little bit about fighting games.

It is a great game after all!

During the rule discussion, are you guys planning at all to address freeware and indie PC games?

I couldn't possibly think of a reason why not.

[BadChad]

freeware and indie PC games?

I have my doubts about these...

[AppleQueso]

freeware and indie PC games?

I have my doubts about these...

so we shouldn't allow covers for Cave Story, Eversion, Noitu Love, etc etc

[tiktektak]

As PC covers are pretty low on the importance list anyway this is not really in the discussion.

After all how often do covers for indie games on the PC turn up?

Once in three years?
