Is Foley really the devil..?? (Previously: RetroBlast is a traitor..??)

Pages: (1/60) > >>

HoopstarsGarage:

Just read the latest entry on RetroBlast where he has pimped himself off to Foley and is going to review his product and all but backs him and his stand on MAME...

This makes me sick and I for one will NEVER read another article published on RetroBlast - when you are <censored by saint, but it was reproductive in nature> the devil, you are just as evil..  Makes me wonder how much Foley has paid Kevin to turn to the dark side.



saint:

I, for one, welcome our new MAME(tm) overlords!

(For the humor impaired, that is a joke)



AlanS17:

Well the concept of paying for individual ROMs seems fair enough. Depends on how much they're asking for, though. It's hard to pay $50 for a ROM.

And what would that do to those people who have game boards for the ROMs they use?

Did you ever consider the possibility that he is reviewing the Ultracrap machines because nobody else has? I commend him for keeping an open mind in reviewing arcade products. Its just as good to know what products are crap and what's worth looking into. In addition, by reviewing Ultracrap units, we can further laugh at the ridiculous amounts of money this guy is charging for his rigs.

 I really don't think anyone here likes Mr. Foley or the skidmark he rubbed on the MAME scene, but what it really boils down to is the law. Now don't get me wrong, I was one of the biggest proponents of Foley's plan, but whats right is right, and whether you agree with it or not, copyrights are copyrights. If you have Roms you didn't pay for on your machine (which should amount to just about everyone who's ever read these forums) guess what, you've broken the law.

Now, while the FBI might not be rapping on your door, Kevin is right about one thing. With so many publishers releasing "nostalgic" packs for PC and console systems, this community is going to receive a lot more attention from the media and IP lawyers.

As for Kevin backing Foley, if you read more than the first sentence on the main page, you'd realize that he's kept his stance on the trademark fight this whole time. What he's doing is saying what everyone is thinking: That the time has come to deal with that "800 lb gorilla" known as pirated Roms.
