Heh, I can't believe two of my games got in there. The first one's Hallway Deathtrap, and the other's Slayer 2. The latter one was an horrible game and I'm still wondering why they bothered placing it there at all.
Anyway, that truly sucks. Legal action should be taken, since none of the games found on that compilation were designed and released for commercial reasons. These people are cashing in for stuff that they didn't even made at all, and it's even freeware material to begin with. Meh.
everyone, contact that guy and tell him to take the games out, if EVERYONE does it he'll get cut as, even if he doesn't take them out, we still would've pissed him off

Sorry to say this, but if it was as easy as saying "I own this game, you can't take it!", there would be no such thing as a copyright, or a patent. Things like this happen ALL of the time, and quite often, nothing happens about it. You're all one in a million.
Life is a rave. You enjoy it while its here, but forget it when its gone.
Someone has suggested to me some time ago that we should make our own CD and sell all the cool games What do you reckon we do that, and instead this time the creators get the profits? I'll flog a couple off at Supanova

None of my finished games are well known enough to get on anything like this but im still p****d that someone could steal so blatantly from so many people. if anyone knows a good way to get a virus to them please do it, they are stealing from we, creators, who are the most exploited group of people in history, but as this is very computer related there are ways (i dont know any but i know of a few) and im sure that unless an author states otherwise they MUST ask for permission, as for the fueled by fusion thing and the copyright bit... welll thats just screwed up
GOOD LUCK TO CIRCY AND ALL THE OTHER CREATORS ON THAT CD!!

Tha'ss it. If no one has any objections I am emailing them this thread. Mebbe a virus or two as well >.
1 day for objections people. This includes legal reasons, etc.
I was considering emailing this thread to them myself, but I think it would mean more if it came from someone who had a game ripped off. I dont know how good you are at writing, HOSJ, but dont be nice about it Threatening legal action always gets you what you want, I have learned through experience.

jeez... do you think they're stupid enough to open an email attachment from some guy who's trying to boycott their business?

I finally got an e-mail back from The Giant Store, and they said they are unable to get any addresses...probably for security reasons or whatever. They recommended using internet search engines, and yesterday I spent about an hour doing so, with no results whatsoever.
Shadowcaster, you have an ok idea about us making aour own cd, with everyone who makes the games getting a little out of it, and at least you'll get reconised for your games instead of some dickhead stealing everyones games without giving credit..

Ok ur missing something! Unfortunately you cant do anything because you are getting credit!!! The logos in your games, unless these guys have an open source, your company logos and credits will still be there.
