Not to mention Aprone's games. I know he's put in a lot of work on those. The great amount of negativity regarding the BSC games and dice project nearly made me unsub from the list so I appreciate your messages on the topic. Christina

Plus I think something people often overlook is a free game should be considered a gift not an obligation. When Philip Bennefall created Kryngal Crash he could have charged $10 for that game and I would have gladly paid for it,but he gave that game away for free. I equally think the Grate Toy Robbery from L-Works is another game worth a small fee like $10 but Liam gave that game away for free. Some people though are under the mistaken impression just because Jim Kitchen gives away his games for free or Liam gives away a free handout like Great Toy Robbery that they should get games out of some sense of obligation etc. Its this entitlement attitude that some people have that really angers me. I remember a case in point a few months back. I was on a list where someone was giving away copies of some commercial audio games. When I called the list moderators and the person on it they gave me the excuse that well some blind people are on fixed incomes like SSI. They do not have a lot of money so its OK if someone buys it and gives the games away for free. So I am given to understand due to this entitlement attitude people have if a person doesn't have much money the developer is obligated to give their games away for free, and if they don't they are morally in the right to just pirate it. Its no wonder certain developers don't have much respect or trust for their blind customers. Cheers!
