CODERS, think about this...

[JKKDARK]

Ok, its a hobby but man, people make money with their hard work out there. You guys who visit ebay (in brazil theres something like ebay called mercadolivre) must be tired of seeing emulators being sold there with tons of roms on one disc...

that's illegal

[Cloudhunter]

Wrong...

Wrong because you know there is a Microsoft, there is a Sony, a Namco, a Konami and lots of other software houses out there. Needless to say why they are coding for...

Maybe the point we must not forget is that a coder is not working with this if he didnt like it. Im pretty sure that there are not guys coding for surviving purposes..

OK, people don't code homebrew for profit... They do it because they enjoy it. Even Microsoft coders enjoy it, or they would never have got into it.

Anyway, I fail to see your whole point in general...

how the hell is this topic on complaining bout coders coming from someone who doesnt even code? if coders want you to pay for there work, so be it, but they usually (i havent seen one that does charge, but i dont know if there is or not) give it out for free. also, obviously they like doing what they do, or else they just would have no need to do it, and if your going to bring up people tht have jobs and dont like them, thats because they are to lazy to do something about it.

some also work in commercial games. cosidering they all have jobs and might not have the expertise to work on a full blown game, there is little point.

1 - lets assume that some of them work on a software house that develops commercial games. If they really worked in some of these companies then they would probably get fired as soon as the company discovered that they were developing emulators (which is not that much a legal stuff)

2 - Even if they dont have what it takes to make a full blown game, they would still have the chance to get a job in a company like those i said before as a junior programmer or something like that..

So the point is not that little...

Some homebrew programmers are under 18, so I doubt they would be able to get a job. For the ones that are over 21, then it is thoroughly their choice. As long as there is a single coder who doesn't give a hoot about turning over a couple of dollars there will always be homebrew, and there will always be more people that will follow up that one and multiply like masquitos.

that's illegal

I know its illegal, girl.. But the guys who sell them doesnt care about that. What they really care is that a great program is there for them to sell with no worries and it doesnt matter if it is on ebay or anywhere else.

Coders should do this free publishing for a short period of time, just to show off their skills.

Even Dcemu makes some cash with this site that most of you think is 100% for the "fan scene"... (playasia banners and lots of recent news too)
