Re: Important moderation message, please read
Well Ggf, I unfortunately can't find the page where the rules are written in the admin settings or how to alter but here is what it says about cracks from the faq which is pretty clear, though it says nothing about reporting users who encourage cracks or audio game piracy and so might need editing on that score:
9: What are cracks and where can I get them?
"Cracks" means any way of playing a commercial game without paying for it. This could be done in several different ways, but however it's done, it's not done on here! anyone found discussing cracks, posting cracks or asking for cracks will be in very serious trouble.
10: But why are cracks bad? ---- after all I don't have the money to afford those expensive games.
Whereas mainstream graphical games on consoles like the Xbox or wii are produced by companies who can put millions into development, audio games are produced only by small independent companies, often just o ne person working on his/her own. Apart from all the time and trouble spent writing the game itself, (time which the developr would much rather likely be spending doing other work or leisure type things), producing accessible games costs! people money. Buying sounds, hiring voice actors, buying development libraries, none of these are free.
Though some devs do! produce free games, or exist on donation only this is their choice, and they still have the problem of how they finance their development.
indeed, most of the best sounding and landmark accessible games we've seen have been commercial.
Since very few people will be buying accessible games, every dollar/pound/euro counts, , so cracking the game rather than paying for it really and seriously! threatens the developrs' ability to create more games in the future.
Remember, all our developrs work part time, in their spare time on accessible games and usually will not make much of a prophet, inde ed it's doubtful whether anyone could! even make enough to support themselves through developing and selling accessible games.
For all of these reasons, audiogames.net is totally, utterly and absolutely against all cracks of accessible games, and anyone found asking for, giving out, or in any way associated with cracks will very likely be banned from the forum.
