Damn you Sony!
« Reply #60 on: November 21, 2001, 10:23:51 AM »
mm...

I didn\'t say you were throwing insults. I said whenever YOU and Altered (or me) have the same viewpoints, notice that all opposing opinions are directed at Altered. Not to mention the insults. Remember the thread on Shenmue 2?

Till this point, no one has really argued with mm but still continue to argue with Altered. Why is that?

Sublime...

Actually, I\'m not really on any side. I just defended Altered when people acted as if he was the only one with the differing opinion.

And I think Altered would make a good mod.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Ironfist...

I find it funny that you labeled me a fanboy when I\'m not on either side. Takes one to know one, right?

:rolleyes:

Bleem wasn\'t hurting Sony\'s sales and Napster wasn\'t hurting Metallica\'s sales.  But you saw them both take the law into their hands.  That\'s the way it stands.  I may not agree with Sony\'s or Lars(fagg0t) decision, but it was their call to make.

You got to be careful.

people that wouldn\'t like me as a mod are the ones who I usually make jackasses out of, why would that be...hmmm?


go look up the definition of piracy anywhere on the net and you guys will see that bleem! doesn\'t qualify as any of it. I doubt you will find any site\'s definition that agrees with you guys.

Please \'splain...

And don\'t say he\'s a Sega fanboy or too big a Sega fan.

Bleem is dead. Good.

Dreamcast is dead. Deal with it.


What the heck are you talking about?

Why did you only quote part of my post?

You\'re such a geek it\'s unbelievable.
You made us look like jackasses? Show me a thread please, it\'ll be interesting. You on the other hand make a jackass out of yourself, which I find very impressive.

You can\'t be a mod coz you\'re one of the most biased persons on this board now that Jumpman isn\'t around anymore. But of course you wouldn\'t admit that.

You obviously have no idea about piracy...
Bleem allows copied games to be played, that\'s a fact. And that will lead to piracy. It doesn\'t mean Bleem! is illegal that is correct coz you\'re allowed to own backups of your original games but it will lead to piracy. You have to be pretty naive to think otherwise.
If Sony would just say go ahead, we don\'t care if people pirate software and use bleem! to run it  on a rival system, that would send out the wrong signal.

I liked Bleem, it wasn\'t a good emulator, at least not for the PC, but I\'m not gonna sit down and actually be mad at Sony for doing what every company who\'s in it for the money would\'ve done. Protecting their copyrighted material and trademarks by saying we don\'t tolerate software that can lead to piracy of our copyrighted material.

Next to Altered, I would say mm is the biggest Sega fan.

Why is no one questioning him being a mod? He is obviously partial to Sega and even admits it.

Most people favor one console/company over another.

Are you saying none of the mods are partial to any one console or company?

I don\'t want to sound like I\'m switching sides, because I\'m not.  But why are you guys talking about Bleem allows piracy?  Doesn\'t the PSX allow piracy with a simple "tape on a button" trick?  Piracy is not why I don\'t like Bleem.  I don\'t like Bleem because it hurts Sony, whether Altered/MM/Ashford are willing to accept that or not.

Altered, I will be back with a responce to your post later.  I\'m trying to get some information first.

everyone whos been here any amount of time, knows i dislike nintendo and love sega.  sony kinda sits between the two

i have always supported a multi-console environment here at these forums, and thats why i feel theyve become so succsessful.

i just never saw bleem as a threat to sony.  bleem helped sell more PSX games, and bleemcast REALLY helped sell more PSX games.  

more software = more money

whos to argue?
