CODERS, think about this...

[1stvinicius]

i was just wondering why you would just entitle her as "girl". thats like me saying:

your whole topic has nothing to do with anything so sit down, boy

little clearer?

Some people are just too angry for me to discuss..

God bless you and I hope he can take this hating behavior out of you, big dude.. :thumbup:

[1stvinicius]

wow, what the hell? being discriminant while your wrong and when everyone is against you isnt, i guess ill say, "helping your cause"

you lost, stay down.:thumbup:

Tha sounded like you were nervous, anxious and was looking forward to catch a "fault" out of me... LOLZ

[gamerremag]

well, it was nice of you to "god bless me" but then you say that what i said had no purpose. for me reading it, i saw it as : your a girl, you dont know what you are talking about. thats why i said it was discriminant. also, im not anxious and if i was trying to find fault, i would say that you just doubble posted, and its obvious that what you are typing nobody really care about except for me because i have been brought into the situation. god bless

I dont really understand what your complaint is.

My complaint is about all the free programming distribution with no limits. This just depreciates the professional who works with it.

This publishing for the dreamcast, at this moment, maybe ok because it wouldnt sell but it wouldnt be ok for the next gen systems they will probably make emus for. They should start selling their projects for those platforms as this would surely make some money..

Think about this situation:

You just developed a great dreamcast emulator for the ps3 and your efforts were the greatest ones you applied ona project..

then someone appears with another great emu with the same efforts but, as he's nice and good to everyone, he will not sell it but will just publish it..

In other words, you know that the lots of nights and days spent on your computer to build the great piece of software deserve some reward other than just fans. But the other guy, even working hard just like you, don't think like that so he is not only depreciating his job but also all other's work too.

Thats my point.

and your forgetting about us coders who arent good enough and if we charged for our stuff people would be like " f_ck that, i aint paying for this $#@!"

Ultimately it is up to the programmer I think. No one is demanding they release their work for free (unless of course, it would be illegal to do otherwise).

You could consider this like volunteer work that you have listed on a resume also. This is especially true in the game programming world. I imagine someone would be more willing to hire someone that has done a piece of freeware that was well received over someone that went to school and came straight for a job with little experience and an empty resume.

Also consider this. The Unreal Tournament Mod "Red Orchestra". It is a free mod, that was entered in the "Million Dollar Challenge" and won. Now you have the option of buying the game (with the engine included) or you can just DL the mod for free. Not only that, but I believe Epic games either gave them a job, or strongly support the original developers.

Another fine example is the Linux Developers. The people that own the now popular Ubuntu Distro found these developers who release this free software and actually pay them to continue updating it.

But really it all comes down to this. IT ISNT ABOUT THE MONEY AT ALL! If this idea seems foreign to you... well, god help you.

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...

and when the emulators turned illegal?
the companies dont care what you do unless if its property of the company itself

Yeah, I agree. Also we want to give to the world free fun, is just that. Its like a hobbie that can help the people to get some good and free fun.

I love when the people give me free things, why I wouldnt give them free things?.
I DONT CARE ABOUT MONEY, easy as that!.

Well, if youre not good enough than you shouldnt think of charging... Im talking about the projects of games and emulators we find here in DCemu community. Lots of them are awesome and should have been charged.
