ripping from indie games?

[Sengir]

Why don't we rip more indie games? It's only done once in a blue moon and it's treated like a taboo subject.

It's not that rare, there are some like Cave Story, Akuji the Demon, Guardian of Paradise, King... I guess it's more lack of interest than anything else

Indie artists are in more of a position to actively notice (and complain) if their games are ripped from. We've managed to avoid pitfalls like that for the most part so far; but it *is* kind of a sticky subject.

It would be nice if they came to tSR themselves and gave us the sprites, but hey.

iirc when solink ripped Legend of Princess there was a debate whether we should rip indie games or not.

Solink asked the guy. I'm of two minds on this. One, they're not the big guy, so it's closer to "art" than Nintendo et al, so we should ask. Two, they put it online, it's public domain, we can rip it.

I think they're both good points.
