Well, I didn't like that he said they're overpriced, then followed up immediately with saying they're "good for copying". It just seemed disrespectful.

RayB:
Disrespectful but true. I'm not sure how "designer coffee table" + "arcade parts" = $6000 (that's just the cheaper walnut table). I'd love to buy just the table and control drawer. How much is that worth? Surely under $1000.

It was just the way he wrote it.

I think it IS overpriced. I think it looks uncomfortable to play. I would have no problem with someone saying, "Hey, look at my attempt at my own version of the surface tension cocktail."

Like I said, it was all in the wording.

This community lives and breathes by borrowing ideas. I don't see why it's so upsetting that someone sees a good idea that's priced too high, but thinks he could build one himself.

The whole idea of protecting the intellectual property of an emulation machine is kind of ironic to me...  ;)

As I've already said, that wasn't the part that bothered me.

It wasn't what was said, it was how he said it.
