No wonder Nintendo is secretive

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.

well if your think crashes original post was to say why nintendo is secretive, then your kidding yourself. you need to dig deeper and look at his posts to see what his intentions really are.

HE THINKS NINTENDO IS BETTER THAN BOTH SONY AND MICROSOFT TOGETHER!

thatmariolover, give it a rest. you're trying to squeeze blood out of a rock at this point.

this kinda thing happens in business all the time, and it doesnt make it wrong. it's the reason why very few markets are monopolized. which is GOOD for business. nobody is breaking any copyright laws...it's not stagnant or wrong, you're just trying to pull an arguement out of your rear.

and I was surprised Crash would make a thread out of this garbage...really, I am

man, killer gremlin is getting bent outta shape...

take a few breaths and go hug your PS2, it'll be all right....

KillerGremlin · 03-13-2005, 06:26 PM

I have a Gamecube, a PS2, an Xbox, and a computer. I'll hug them all, equally thank you.

I am bent out of shape, but don't take everything I post 100% seriously. That picture was supposed to be more funny then serious.

And thatmariolover is way off base.

i have an xbox, ps2, gamecube and computer too... now we can agree and be happy....

.....In a non-gay way.

If there's something to be discussed then there's something to be discussed. I wasn't pulling an argument from anywhere. And I think if you'd actually read the thread I was the only person in the argument that didn't resort to posting offensive images or insulting people simply for making a post.

I stated that I disagreed and I gave my reasons. I thought my last post had a sense of finality to it. A sort of, let's agree to disagree sort of thing. I was trying to resolve the argument not start it.

I'm way off base for what? I was disapproving of what you said, and told you why. What's a forum without diversity? If you can't handle a disagreement without being rude, grow up.

you thought what I said was insultive to you? sorry...I dont put that much effort into relpying to your posts, man. nothing insultive in there. I gave "logical" info to back up my point as well (in case you didnt read it).
