So Thibaut made a PC-Engine bible- one that you said Japanese people are even buying- so it's something he's selling and making money from- it's not something he's SHARING. It's something he's selling. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that- it's his knowledge- good for him to use it for his ends to turn a buck if people want to pay for it- but don't confuse it as some kind of altruistic contribution.
"Put your money where your mouth is then. Suggest a price the community as a whole pay for you to release the PC Cocoron rom"
What the hell am I talking about? Do you not possess PC Cocoron? It says so on PCEDaisakusen- unless you just listed it for shits and giggles.
You talk about uploading roms of special versions 10 years ago- you say other people may have done the same- yeah- it's a nice thing. It was also ten years ago, you're not sure if you were the only one to do so, you CERTAINLY weren't the only one to have these games, and you haven't stated if you uploading the roms decreased the originals value- which is the big point in your argument of not wanting to share the unreleased ones (but then change your story later on and say it's because of people like me). Then you say you sold a Sega game- which is cool- but not giving something away for free as you claim. You are COMPLETELY OVEREXAGGERATING the good you AND Thibaut have done for this community.
I'm not saying you or Thibaut OWE us anything. No one OWES anyone anything. It's a matter of those with the power, and the cash, to share these unique titles- and contrary to what your first argument was- it's NOT something that you'd have to lose money on- If they don't share the titles it's their right- and it's equally my right and others to find it selfish.
My point about we'd all be crooks if we all had Bill Gates money means that the only way your ludicrous example works is if we'd all be rich like Bill Gates- not just you. It clearly went over your head.
As for me being new on the scene- who's the one with the assumptions now? As for WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE- I do what I can- considering that I have a life outside of videogames, common man's pay-and zero knowledge of technical aspects. You're not even around here to know in what way Nat Necromancer or me contribute in whatever way we can- and it probably wouldn't be any contribution that would shake your earth since you practically have every freaking item related to PCE already anyway- you also- which I respect- if your PCEDaisakusen listings are accurate- play and clear a good portion of your games- so reviews, walkthroughs and gameplay conversations wouldn't do much for you either- but that's YOU. Members here feel that we have things to contribute. We also share what we can- and I'm talking physical properties- with people that we know will appreciate it. It'd be pointless to list all the things we've given as gifts, gave good deals on or shared.
