Anyone ever heard of or know gamecaseworld.com?

Just let him be. All he's really selling is the time and effort it takes to print, trim, and install the covers plus his costs. It's not like he's gonna retire early because of those sales.
Is it a bummer that we get no recognition? Meh, not really. We don't any need attention brought to what we're doing, especially from companies like Nintendo who seem to HATE any fan-made creations using their characters and brands.
Let's just keep doing what we're doing, and hopefully we'll stay under the radar...

No.. what he is doing violates copyright laws. Something companies like Nintendo do not take kindly to. He is selling home-made reprints of their artwork.

See this post for an official statement from Snowcone.
See this post for a 5 page discussion on the very same topic.
This subject has come up before and the end result is always to let sleeping dogs lie.

Haha yeah I thought this had been covered already, quite recently too.

I respect GCW because I do not want to be at the mercy of Staples or mom and pop print shops, which are becoming scarcer by the day. I would prefer to pay that site for a quick and easy transfer and remain under the radar. I apologize if I seem to be betraying the people of TCP, but it would seem that having easy access to printing covers is justified by allowing them to use templates and covers.
