Everybody seems to love turbokon's new bootlegs but hates tobias'.
That's intentionally subtracting context/history away in defense of Tobias. Turbokon never went on eBay, pretended he had some lost batch of Sapphire CDs, and forged a document purported to be by Hudson Soft to further backup this lying/fraud, etc. Tobias did, and down the road in the aftermath this caused thousands of dollars in damage to the public who got tricked into thinking those Sapphires were real and paid the crazy big-spending rates you see versus what bootlegs normally go for. Stores thought they had real copies, sold the copies to buyers, only for the buyer to discover they got sealed bootlegs, then having to dispute it all with the store/seller thinking the buyer is lying, etc. You get the idea of the mess that the guy caused...
Comparing him to team turbokon/jodi or other bootleggers is unjust... There are no forged Hudson documents, lies, and using fan translated works without permission/inclusion, etc. as there is with Tobias' history. His Dracula X bootleg objectively is a thing of beauty, no denying that, I'd want one myself, but he catches hate/flak for all the shit he pulled in the past! People that got burned by him who bought his fake Sapphires wanted to see him get shut down, not come back bigger than ever, and even see him celebrated around Youtube gamer channels as a "hero" who does it "
for the love of it."
So, that's the issue... You can do bootlegs right/ethically to some degree, there's no harm/no foul when the games reasonably fall under abandonware/de facto public domain, but Tobias has a history of issues, and that's why he's hated more so than it just being plain general opposition to bootlegs (which may be true for some people here, NOT ALL!).
