So... from what I gather, people would rather throw a fit and not have the game available for purchase at all, than actually engaging in conversation with both the parties and reach an agreement that could benefit all parties involved (WeGo, your precious community, GOG and all the people who, like me, didn't even know this game existed until GOG distributed it).
Like what has been said before, I don't think what WeGo did was right, taking advantage of work by outside people and not acknowledging it, but, then again, like it was also said before, it's not like the modders who released the patch were getting paid and recognized in the first place... in all honesty, this seems more like a personal beef the so-called Re-Volt community is having with WeGo, than anything else. I know little to nothing about legal affairs, so I don't understand exactly what is WeGo entitled to, or not, but since they paid for the rights to the game, and the modding community didn't, well, I would be inclined to think WeGo has more rights than the Re-Volt community.
The patch is great and I thank the people who did it, as because of it I can play this fun game on my modern machine, but, please, stop for a minute and think about this ultra-protective and proud stance you're taking. From where I stand, I'd rather have more people having access to Re-Volt via legal means than having to pirate it. Sorry if you hate WeGo so much that you prefer people pirating the game than giving them revenue of sales, but, hey!, just think you are helping GOG as well, and even if WeGo doesn't deserve it, GOG certainly does. They could have gone all corporate and completely ignore the modding community and that vocal Re-Volt fanbase, but instead they chose to side with you, guys. That should mean something, right? Show GOG some love and try to promote civil conversation and discussion, instead of this blind hate towards WeGo, which will undoubtedly lead to Re-Volt being forever erased from all distributors.
At the end of the day, it's not that I care all that much. I'm more saddened by the loss of Guilty Gear X2 #Reload than this one, and I don't see people in that thread flaming FunBox and whatnot. All we wish is for GOG to have the legal issues sorted out, so that more people can have access to the amazing game that is X2 #Reload. If the Re-Volt community doesn't think that way... well, no wonder Re-Volt isn't better known, with such a closed, protective community. Have fun looking at your own bellybuttons, then.
