No wonder Nintendo is secretive

[thatmariolover]

I never said that at all, I think you're exaggerating my posts by a fair bit. We don't need to get in a big fight about intellectual property rights. We all know that a good idea will be copied, and that without that - any industry could become stagnant. What I am trying to iterate is the fact that there is a difference from flat out copying somebody and taking an idea and improving it.

You can take something and make it your own, where an individual draws the line is personal. I'm not going to get into an arguement about where the line really is.

Crash's post had the simple intention of making Nintendo's reasons for secrecy a bit more visible. Granted, he didn't have the best examples, but the meaning for the post is still there; and thanks to both of you, has been underlined and made bold.

So somehow, despite some of the substance lacking in the post in the first place, it's gone exactly where it needed to go.
