mintee: bizarre how someone can think a product made by another has some time limit to them getting paid and getting credit for it.
It all gets down to your own creativity, spend some time, imagination and labor crafting a product then just do one sale of it, and give your rights away. Then sit back and watch a multitude of others claim your work as their own and make their own profit off it if you feel so inclined to charity.
I'm all for copyright laws, there are already too many ways to get around a copyright legally and even infuriatingly for the original inventor.
Right, and many of the games posted are only 20 years old! No one in their right mind would suggest 20-year-old books and movies should be released for free to the public. So why are videogames the exception? Just because the format they were originally released on is no longer playable by most people? But the same argument applies to movies originally released on VHS, should we release those for free now?It all gets down to your own creativity, spend some time, imagination and labor crafting a product then just do one sale of it, and give your rights away.
