wormholewizards: I already emailed GOG team asked them to fix POD glide2x.dll because it has minor graphical glitch. But they stated that they couldn't do anything because of legal issue, that's all. I nearly went ballistic, but then i realized this legal issue is quite complicated. So yeah, maybe they didn't have source code access for certain titles.
We don't have source code access for *any* titles.
hedwards: That's a possible issue, but the big issue is that it makes it harder to go to publishers and ask for a license to sell the games DRM free if there are threads on the site devoted to piracy.
This is one of the reasons I asked Galimatias to lock the thread, yes. We keep a light hand on moderation here--which works better on this forum than pretty much any other forum anywhere I can think of--but linking to sites that provide tools to do things which are illegal in America (read up on the DMCA, if you don't know what I'm talking about) is likely not going to make any American partners happy.
kavazovangel: Pretty 'cool' move, Galimatias. You guys use cracks, sometimes don't even bother to remove the actual group name from the exes (spare me the 'oh, but the publisher allowed us' crap, if you really want to you could have removed those lines and at least go unnoticed, but when we start talking about solving some valid issues with them, you lock the thread.
I'd say as far as moderation goes, locking a thread is a pretty minor thing to do. There's no negative effects to if for any of you involved; we're just asking you nicely to take that discussion to another arena. We didn't even remove the thread, so any helpful information that you guys traded is still visible for your later use.
Sorry if you don't agree.
