LateBit: MobyGames will never become pay only. We are users — human beings — just like you

Thank you Rob. But for some reason I don’t think you guys are getting what I am saying. I’m not trying to create something “2.0″. As I said before, I want to work with, just become a “source” of files you, Jason, don’t already have.

I suppose I’ve become callous after seeing the same thing unfold literally thousands of times over the past 25 years. They always follow the same basic pattern:

- Kid discovers “something.”
- Kid decides “something” sucks, and he could do better.
- Kid publicly points out the faults of “something.”
- Kid promises to create “something 2.0,” the bigger and better version of “something.”

…and, the usual ending:

- “Something 2.0″ never materializes, Kid disappears, life goes on.

Anyhoo … I should try harder not to sound like the cranky old computer guy. The fact is, there’s a 99.99% chance that “something 2.0″ will never materialize and we will never hear or see the name “Lex Talionis” again. Of course, there’s always the .01% chance that he will prove us all wrong and create something grand. I suppose only time will tell.

I just went into my calendar and set a reminder one year from now to Google for his name. I will defer judgement until then.

I understand fully what you are saying, and what kind of site this is. I understand the concept of the site and its meaning. And as I said at the end of my last comment, I would send any files that Jason didn’t already have, to him. Working with him. Thank you LateBit though for being reasonable, and somewhat understanding. Again, I am sorry Jason for insulting you or your site in any way. I will leave that post up though, after giving it an update, so that if anyone would like to leave a text file in my hand, I will be more then happy to send it to you for archiving. I’m sure that if a local museum suddenly found a great historical artifact, it would be sent to The Museum of National History. I did write that post with the intention of working together.
