But what I'm saying is that our personal perception of quality may not be the perfect indicator of a game's worthiness. Chrono Trigger may be bad, there are some people who played it and liked it.

i played chrono trigger and liked it a lot.

apparently the staff didn't agree with that, and they removed my positive review of it.

I have to admit, I sort of agree with the rips thing. I'm not saying we should ban using them, god no, that would destroy the community. We should probably heavily encourage making your own, using free graphics, or you know, ASKING SOMEONE TO HELP. I am not a big fan of seeing rips anymore.

Frankly, I don't see how it is hard to make halfway decent graphics anyways. I'm sure Ocean would happily point you to (his?) tutorial on it. That's where I learned in 2 days. 2 DAYS. After that it's all just practice, practice, practice.

Piracy may and may not be bad. Poor people can't afford original stuff, you know.
In my country, Brazil, for example. To buy an original game, you must pay.... 150 DOLLARS. THAT'S ONE MONTH OF FOOD.
Why the hell should I keep from eating ONE WHOLE MONTH to buy A GAME if I can download it?
However, people with more money and stuff, well, they can actually afford buying all this stuff. So when I get more money I SHOULD buy what I pirated. And pirating is advertising, anyways. But I'm aganist pirate marketing. Piracy is wrong when people make profits of it, and the people who do so did not make the product. Well, my language is especially crappy today.... Wonder why?

Chrono Trigger is one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved games of all time what do you mean 'it may be bad but some people played it and liked it'

Frankly, I don't see how it is hard to make halfway decent graphics anyways. I'm sure Ocean would happily point you to (his?) tutorial on it. That's where I learned in 2 days. 2 DAYS. After that it's all just practice, practice, practice.

For me, it takes valuable time doing something I'm completely and totally not interested in for a result I couldn't care less about.

I don't think he means that Chrono Trigger, man.

This one, I believe.

I didn't think many would take my "rips" comment seriously, though. It was merely a "take that" to the hypocrisy of the RM community at large. I was just being snarky about it. :p I'm fine with rips and RTP, especially if used well.

Yeah, this is exactly why we can't go banning anything. If people want to use rips there's no way we should be able to stop them, besides persuasion. If people want to use custom graphics, but can't make them, they can always try to team up with someone. I doubt anybody here would ask for money.
