Game Addict Hotline

So, I got hit with a virus on the website. Don’t worry, it’s gone. I have placed the better business bureau on the case and they are going to find out who did it and shut down the owner of the virus. It’s hopefully the last of it. The thing I hated the most was that Google places my site as harmful and makes it hard to access. Luckily it was taken care of.

Anyway. Here is a story about the cut throat fight of the Commodore 64 in the UK.

It’s interesting to see how the market was and how it is today. It’s also super interesting to see the piracy issues of the past and how stupid easy it was to copy a floppy. (well, tape.) Anyway. I have been against piracy of still selling games where the game are still easily accesable in your area and the copywrite owner is hard to find. I think I changed my tune when I started working at Microsoft and saw how much time and effort is placed on each game. If money is still being paid to the creators, I still agree with it. I think that’s how some in the music piracy feel about the issue of music. But I’m a game journalist, not a music journalist.
