Sorry to start the drama again, but after time to process all of this, I wanted to share my thoughts:
The Artax V4 image is amazing, I'm sure most of you will agree. A few VERY talented people knew how to further expand the image into something greater and did. Posting teaser videos on YouTube and announcing that ALL future releases would be PRIVATE ONLY is a crock of shit. It screams, look how great I am, but I'm not sharing, so don't bother asking. Especially on a website like Emuline where mostly everything is shared with the public. Is it right to be a greedy piece of shit and sell other peoples hard work? Umm no, never.
Could you imagine if Darksoft knew how to make all of these incredible multi kits, but never offered them up for sale to anyone? What if all he did was make YouTube videos about how amazing he was, and never went any further than that?
At the end of the day, we are a community based on our love of arcade games. I don't expect everyone to get along or see eye to eye all of the time, but the way this all went down was straight up lame.
Sorry, not sorry. We are ALL entitled to our opinions. Freedom of speech last time I checked. The world is seriously slowly starting to go to shit. Everyone is so offended and sensitive over the most minor things. It's honestly quite sad.
I had to get that off of my chest. I'm sure others feel the exact same way at the end of the day. Something I WILL NOT do is stroke the ego of someone with serious anger issues.
