.. to everybody except Casa Addams, many users on the Clie Source forums (whom obviously have brains as big as their PDAs,) and that other idiot who is bundling ScummVM with warez LucasArts games on UseNet. This is somewhat of an open plea, although we do not really expect morons who have done something so idiotic to listen.
Sorry for this open message being so harsh guys, but do you not realise that by associating and bundling ScummVM **with** pirated copies ("Abandonware" or otherwise) of LucasArts games, you're basically giving them even more excuse to take legal action against us (and bring possible financial ruin on the developers of this program :)... I'm especially disappointed in chrilith who has almost certainly guaranteed that, unless we feel very forgiving, there will never be an official Palm port of ScummVM integrated into CVS. If you appreciate what we are doing, and have done, then do not abuse it. Otherwise you are damaging the reputation, and possible legal status of both ScummVM and its developers. I've seen some VERY ridiculous comments on the Clie Source forums to the effect that LucasArts do not sell these games anymore. With the exception of some versions (specifically Zak256 and LoomCD), this is stupid. Most LucasArts games can be ordered in collection packs from Amazon or the LucasArts store (if you live in America.). Heck, I saw a bunch of LucasArts classic adventures in Electronic Boutique when I was Christmas Shopping. * * * In other news, Curse of Monkey Island support is progressing nicely! Be sure to try out the latest Daily Builds if you like living on the wild side (but of course do not file bug reports on CMI support). |

Siento que este mensaje sea tan duro, gente, pero no os dais cuenta de que al relacionar y juntar a ScummVM **con** copias piratas («Abandonware» o de cualquier otro tipo) de juegos de LucasArts les estáis dando más excusas todavía para que emprendan acciones legales contra nosotros (y llevar a una posible ruina económica a los desarrolladores de este programa :)... Chrilith me decepciona especialmente, ya que él ha garantizado de forma casi tajante que, a menos que seamos muy indulgentes, no integremos una conversión oficial de ScummVM para Palm en el CVS.
Si agradecéis lo que hemos hecho, no abuséis de ello. De lo contrario haréis daño a la reputación y a la posible situación legal de ScummVM y sus desarrolladores. He visto algunos comentarios MUY ridículos en los foros de Clie Source sobre que LucasArts ha dejado de vender estos juegos. A excepción de ciertas versiones (más específicamente, Zak256 y LoomCD), es una estupidez. La mayoría de los juegos de LucasArts pueden conseguirse en lotes a través de Amazon o mediante la tienda LucasArts (si vives en Estados Unidos). Qué diablos, yo vi un montón de aventuras clásicas de LucasArts expuestas en un Electronic Boutique mientras hacía mis compras por navidad.
