Re: A89: Re: Perverted :)
Credit is what most programmers in our industry are out to get. I myself
only write programs for credit. Just because we make a process of
"apporving" games does not mean that eveyrone has to sell their games.
But their comes a point when a group of programmers have all of the
credit that they are looking for and they are to the point where ppl know
who they are and they put many many hours into an awesome game, i
belive that they should recieve some compensation. Not only this but a
group or individual who actually recieves the brand of "approval" will
ultimatly gain much more popularity and circulation overall. You must
realize that when I talk about a high standard of excellence that i mean
HIGH. To the point where it seems almost impossible to be able to get
the approval that you applied for. In the end it would create games that
people would be willing to buy. And on the subject of Copyrights, the
Organizations comittee would have to review the game for copyright
infringement. That only requires you to watch your self and it requires
some programmers to use their own creative brains instead of other
programmers. And if you are so worried about your credit I would advise
not using someone else's idea for your game, i see you as a Hypocrite.
