Oh yeah, I definitely want to get Atlantean on a Hucard.  I love homebrew games, and I get them whenever they are available.  I looked at the sample video of the game.   It looks great so far.  Keep up the good work!

No way I would do that myself! If they uploaded a ROM file anywhere, the whole incentive to buy the game would be destroyed. And now with good working flashcarts like Turbo Everdrive, you wouldn't have to limit yourself to emulators either! When they sell out of every last physical HuCard that they're willing to produce, then maybe it'd be something to consider, but certainly not now in my opinion.

I disagree, it's going to be a collectors item for sure...I plan on digital and the real deal, but to be honest I doubt the actual hu-card will go in my machine except to test it. The digital release will be tagged so if some scum decided to leak it, it'll be traceable.

Many people won't be able to get the psychical copy right away, why deny them the right to play it if there are means and ways to provide it?

But we are getting off topic, Let's go go go This is my B-day present to myself.

Just let 'em make all their HuCards and sell 'em out, that's it! They can do something that you suggest afterwards. Win-win. I would NOT give up ANY temporary anti-piracy situation that there is here as I don't think any potential buyer owns any of those HuCard reader/dumper devices out there; I've never seen one, have no idea who even dumped the whole NEC library, etc.

Because you claim "many" won't get the physical copy right away, the producers should be denied the opportunity to maximize sales of a physical product that they've likely spent thousands of hours working on ?? ... I say, you show some patience, let 'em sell out of the physical copies instead of pressuring them into some kind of digital release... It's not much of a consolation prize that the image could be tagged and the leaker traced, the damage would still be done. Even if it only costs you 15% in physical sales because of the temptation, that's still significant a loss... I would not risk it.

Who's pressuring them? They already stated there would be a digital option...I didn't magically come up with it.

Again getting off track...just be excited for it.

Your argument, "Many people won't be able to get the psychical copy right away, why deny them the right to play it if there are means and ways to provide it?" is pressuring, cheering, advocating, etc. for it right now, the sooner the better, etc.

My point was simple enough, let 'em sell out of the physical copies first, and they can do the digital option afterwards if so they choose (they've stated it, as you say). You disagreed with that, though.
