They're not worried, because Drac X is a traditional Vampire Killer theme. It won't dent their profits from the "sexual violence" enthusiasts they're catering to now.

Konami seemed to stop caring when they also dropped their old logo:

I can't see this and not think of the two jingles that konami has used.

Hurry guys, hit those eBay "Report Item" links on Tobiass' behalf! ;)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Akumajo-Dracula-X-Rondo-of-Blood-Deluxe-Edition-PC-Engine-Castlevania-Japan-/121772174395?&_trksid=p2056016.m2516.l5255

We got a Tobias bootleg special of Dracula X with at least 57 bids going, 4 days left!

The seller is located in Toyko, Japan, so Tobias has an approved contact there or it just happened to be the case it was a reseller that bought one off him ?? Whatever the case, I went the full distance and reported it as a copyright violation in the selections and added comment text that it's a bootleg, etc.


Reported.  If it's clearly listed as a bootleg or repro I usually turn a blind eye, but this is ridiculous.  I can't even believe how many people have bid on this thing.


Oh I can.  [-(

And its still there... :/

I'm surprised the price hasn't gone even higher.

! No longer available


I'm on my phone and can't watch tge video. Is that the one where he says that you can trust PCEWorks and how they'd never try to pass off bootlegs as authentic? If so, I guess that he has no intention of taking down that video, since he heard enough of the animeforever/fudoh/20thAnv/PCEWorks/Tobias/Hudson Soft backstory a long time ago now.

Not sure.  I was to annoyed to watch the whole thing.  He shows off Beyond Shadowgate and Might and Magic III in crazy VHS disney style boxes :lol:

He talks about how he could never find those two games in the stores "back in the day" .  Really when you hear him talk about it I have a feeling he's lying and got into the pc-e with the retro boom.  He seem's like yet another "try to hard" youtuber to make it seem like he was a major supporter of the system back in the day.  I could be totally wrong but that's how it seems to me, especially with buying and supporting this trash.  This is 100% why I don't watch this youtube game review stuff.

Sorta. It was released yesterday and he says, "About reproductions... I have no problems with reproductions as long as they're not passed off as originals. That's the one thing that I don't like... But this is clearly a reproduction and nobody can say otherwise."

Where you're right in portrayal is that he's holding Tobias' repros in his hands, exactly the guy that once did purposefully try to pass off repros as originals years ago with Sapphire but he chooses not to tell you about any of that past...

We need a catchy reference to all that Sapphire business, like "Sapphire-Gate" perhaps ?? Something to better help represent it.

Now Johnny did ask me about what I think of PCE Memories/Tobias many months ago, I believe I got around to trying to tell him about Sapphire-Gate as well as Xak III, so... It can't be out of ignorance anymore...

So, we can gather that since he has a relationship with Tobias now which results in promotional freebies, he's not willing to refer to Sapphire-Gate so as to maintain that relationship...

Well I could ask for his promotional freebies... But I will post them with my cat having his way with them. Maybe mingle them with some of the Bernie merchandise I have bought from him over the years. lol

Yeah, he seems like a good guy, I wouldn't question his sincerity there. Definitely a big Ys fan too. But the explanation for all this is as simple as he and others don't want Tobias' past to affect the freebie supply and enjoyment of it in the present...

So when he gets the Ys 4 and Xak 3 "reproductions" he's gonna give you props and tell the whole world he's making money off your translation work right?

Jesus!!! Do you really have to stir this tempest up again? [emoji90] [emoji107]   There's a dedicated thread for that drama.
