true, it would be nice if he eventually came back.
I do hope that one day he will come back.

Hi all,
BSC was a pioneer in the early days of accessible audio games for
modern platforms. There are a handful of companies and developers
without whom the industry would not exist as it does today, and
Justin is one of those.
I'm disappointed, but not really surprised, to see some of the
sentiments being batted around on list. Essentially, like always,
everyone wants something for nothing, and never mind the time,
effort or trouble that Justin put into the games over the past dozen
years, whether or not he has released anything new recently. The
shortsightedness of the community is to its detriment.
Kids won't be kids forever. Perhaps Justin is reserving the right to
return to creating and/or updating these games eventually, when his
kids are grown. Perhaps he just wants to be fairly compensated for
the hours he spent developing them in the first place. Whatever his
reasons or movations, I have no doubt that some of you will pirate
the heck out of these games without a thought to their creator.
Should Activision give away the Infocom collection for free? Should
Nintendo allow anyone to make clones of NES or SNES cartridges of
the old Super Mario Brothers Games? Maybe Paramount should give up
the rights to Star Trek the Next Generation, after all, they aren't
making that series anymore.
Rather than calling justin greedy for giving folks the chance to do
the right, legal, and ethical thing and purchase games they may want
before their gone for a ridiculously reduced price, you should all
be thanking him for the hours of entertainment and enjoyment he
brought to you over the years.
Personally, I'd like to thank Justin for paving the way for
developers like me to do what we love. I don't think it is him who
is being greedy.
