It speaks volumes that the only possible publishers now interested are illegal. He's spent a lot of time on his project and it's ending poorly I think.Beyond that, he's got a kind of naive arrogance about him. Ever play Cave Story? Now there's a one-man-game deserving of an official release. It’s sad to see how he’s descended into this unprofessional mess.

If people are willing (Something I doubt) to pay for this game in retail stores why not sell the game on his site to play for the PC? No need for all this crap.Frankly, he's a moron. And so is anyone who supports his 'freedom market movement' crap. Good lord. Why doesn’t he just, I dunno, release it online? If people are willing (Something I doubt) to pay for this game in retail stores why not sell the game on his site to play for the PC? No need for all this crap.

Frankly, he’s a moron. And so is anyone who supports his ‘freedom market movement’ crap. Good lord.

For everybody that is going to start about how it will encourage piracy, please stop. There is no need for this to encourage it. It is alive and well now as it is. It is people like Bob that make me wish things like the Pandora would take off. Well I am going to say good for him.

He's a douche, and the game looks mediocre at best. I am not giving him a cent just because he did it all himself. It's a free market, not the special olympics, Bob. Deal with it. I don’t think anyone can get very far by acting like Bob has.
