Henry:
Ah, my mistake. I mistakenly assumed from your comments that the page had changed. Seeing it I can see that OOTP5 remains the featured game. I never disputed that comments on OOTP6 were present, but as mentioned in the complaint thread below, OOTP5 is still the banner head. Whether or not there is an intent to fool people who didn't buy 5 into thinking that's this year's game, it's unprofessional not to have updated the page by now. My statements regarding the changing page were wrong, but I do make mistakes. Perfection is not required to seek the truth. In fact, my devotion to the truth is precisely why I have no problem admitting I'm wrong whenever I actually am.
Regarding the release, on the other hand, I am not claiming that you missed a stated release date. I'm saying that, unlike all previous versions of OOTP, this game is not expected to be out by Opening Day. To me it is late for that reason, and you've even admitted that the game was delayed because of work on ITP. I don't see how you can quibble about the difference between delayed and late. Look up one of the words in a thesaurus and the other will probably be listed as a synonym. Thus it is absolutely not a misrepresentation, it is a statement of fact. You, on the other hand, apparently have little consideration for truth when you can say something is "delayed" but not "late." I'm afraid I've got you there.
Dale And Eli's Dad:
#1) Perhaps you want to check Henry's own statement. Read "
the release of ITP delayed OOTP to some time after the release date that would have been usually expected" and explain to me how that is different from "late."
#2) Actually you're incorrect about the application of copyright rules, but that isn't surprising since you're pulling this directly out of your @$$.
In order for it to be copyright infringement, my site would either have to require payment to view, or else the graphics in question would have to be proven as the cause of sale. And as I told you already, the ones I have I got from public domain wallpapers, not the images of the companies themselves. There is still likeness and logo protection, but it's not subjected to the same standards as constructed images. Believe me, I've researched this already just to cover my bases.
#3) Heck no. If your hobby is collecting coins, do you then give permission for other people to take them? This is my intellectual property, however worthwhile or worthless. That's a pretty weak attempt at attacking me on your part. I guess you slipped up in forgetting that I long ago made the distinction between hobby and business. And you were so close to being clever.
#4) Check the recent posts, chief. After initial confrontation quite a few of the people still posting either agree with what I'm saying or disagree but recognize that I'm making valid points. If there was something to "see through," surely those individuals would be able to address and undermine my points. As of yet no one has been able to.
#5) Dude, my web site has been around for years. I created it after leaving Mastersball, and that was a long time ago. Moreover, I didn't mention the link, and if I were here to advertise it, don't you think I would have finished it first? And your other claim doesn't make any sense either. Why would coming on here to complain about a game earn me "respect"? I suspected it would give me trouble, but I still wanted to express my frustration in the hope that the OOTP staff won't subject us to similar delays in the future. Heh, come on, at least think before you post.
