What a crazy headline this is:

the mega drive sound chip dosent do what snes do. rock n roll racing on snes is masterful.
The hardware isn't bad, programmers either didn't have the time, money or inclination to really work on the audio properly. Don't take my word for it, check out the much improved Mega Drive version hack of RRR.

that and Sega pretty much threw western devs under the bus with GEMS.
 
If that stuff gets trashed, it's gonna be be more heartbreaking than that time that Reddit user found a source copy of Starcraft and returned it to Blizzard for some game keys instead of rightfully throwing it online for the world to use.
 
I couldn't read the complete article, I was looking at the pictures and seeing everything so unorganized, with ugly stickers and in such bad condition that my head started itching like crazy because of my OCD. I could never buy anything of that in those conditions :(
As someone who also has OCD... it goes without saying that this is dev kit stuff and prototype carts with prototype games on them... they don't come from factory with printed shiny labels on them, they get hand-written labels in the office where the games are being made. Frequently wiped and re-used as well... they aren't for customers like you <_<
 
...it all dates back to the Backxwardz Compatibility Squad that Atari hired to spy on Hudson Soft which was busily pregnant with a passportable marketing license. NEC, the proud half-godsonfather of said Hudson HawkSoft became increasingly suspectified of GameGRRLz launch titles on a feared market-chain of stores called the Groove Adventure Rave 5589.RUvZ!S to no avail, as this was post-prophesized by Yoshi MacBastard, Ltd. AND OMG - HELL BROKE LOSE IN ALL 8 D-PAD DIRECTIONULZ and 0 kids were sent to detention at the dentist acciDENTALLY. EEE. G.I. Joe the Top Transformist Candidate Autocon Deceptibot Nemesis Commandforcer were en route to the infamous notoriety-plaguery of the Backxwardz Compatibility Senility Squad-Mod till Microsoft pissed off God n started weather patterns that can never be forgiven.

Forwards-Compatibility for consoles became the only viable option foreseen by marketing predictions that died 81 yrs ago, ergo eetou PetCo. deathmode roLL-canceled proceedings n o' no - run like the gingerbread man, it's out of our pixellated truncated outdated hands.

...AND INFINITY YASHISHI SYMBOL vs. SIDEWURDz AMPERSANDS.

(this is just to clear things up concerning our sane systematic asymmetries kthnx ur name will be called shortly, ma'amsir)
That is a wild story for sure

Yeah, you bet. I would see a problem if somebody gave me all of that :(
 
I like how all they had to do after realizing their mistake was just ask the guy for their consoles back and refund the 10k he paid. In their infinite wisdom they chose to have their stock value drop. The Internet has offered us so many lessons on how being a massive twat ends and yet the corpos continuously refuse to learn.

this would be even more humiliating for them
 
Amazing corporations can just get police to do their bidding. I know the UK is pretty messed up these days but still.

If Sega broke a contract in which they improperly disposed of Nintendo's devkits I don't see how that's the seller/preservationists fault. It's not like there's some UK law that says "it's illegal to posses Nintendo devkits."

Like if I buy a 2nd hand laptop or some other ewaste that didn't have its hard drive wiped - with, say, some confidential documentation still on it - that's not my fault. It's the fault of the person/company who disposed of the device improperly to begin with.

And to get the police involved to pose as undercover buyers and raid this guy... it's just too much.

What a crazy world we live in.

The law doesn't care about "fault", they only applies the law. It turned out the items were "stolen" (according to the law) and were in possession of a person who shouldn't have had them to begin with. He is experienced in this for he constantly buys junk and stuff (so he claims) so the law would expect him to notify the cops for in case they may be stolen if he even has no idea about basic laws. When you see company stuff that is a prototype, devkit and whatnot you gotta have common sense to figure out this is not what random unrelated persons would possess. It means they are leaked and because of it likely they were stolen. However the law doesn't care if a person is stupid or ignorant, what they would care is the mental disorder defense which is how he can get away from not losing against Sega and Nintendo if they had decided to sue him lolol.

It wasn't stolen though. Sega disposed of this equipment improperly and afterwards realized they had an agreement with Nintendo that included a clause that it needed to be returned to them.

A contractional agreement isn't federal law. It's an agreement between two private parties.

The fact he wasn't charged is pretty indicative that no crime was committed.

I own a devkit for an old console that was obviously never meant to be released to the public. I can assure you I am not committing a crime by buying or owning it. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to find this stuff on ebay, etc so easily.

Yes companies don't like it when the general population gets their hands on stuff like this but it's their own responsibility to prevent it, not the police.

I already wrote that I meant. It's "stolen" when an item is in possession of a person who shouldn't have to begin with and the person had no intention to find out if the item was stolen or not and no intention to return it to its owner. It can turned out that it was not "accidentally discarded", there may be real deal thief situation going on about it.

Sega may not be sure if a thief situation actually happened or not, if it did happen they would wanna hide it. Better play safe and let cops handle it. Another thing is if the company filed a report for missing items "possibily stolen we dunno" it is what cops looks for. What you think cops does and should do? They didn't call army or something lol.

Nope. It means he wasn't directly held responsible. It means he was not held criminal charges, but it doesn't mean when Nintendo and Sega should sue the guy he can getaway from civil charges. In civil charges he bitching about it can further dig his own grave for these companies may want to push civil lawsuit for "he casually buys company item a random person shouldn't have and then bitching about it, let's show society you can't just fuck with us by making us look bad" lol. He also make a possible civil lawsuit cause to open a criminal lawsuit because to prove if someone did commit crime and estimate how much a company lost due to this situation you gotta unearth all details about this situation, which eventually whatever this guy did whether serial killing or thievery can be unearthed.

Long story short, without enough evidence and without real-deal public harm people cannot be held responsible with criminal charges. This is why when someone really did kill someone which even judge can figure this out are set free due to lack of evidence. But what this guy did is civil harm therefore it is only concern of civil case between these companies and him therefore he can be sued alright.

Then this is not what law would care until the owner of the product the company legally asks the website not to sell the product and if they don't obey the company can sue the website and every buyer they found.

For example release a Youtube video of yourself with this devkit, and especially say "I bought it" and then Nintendo may sue you alright and only then as a civil case law will care.

Your opinion is not realistic at all. Naturally a company is not "god" so they can do anything so they can prevent what they don't desire. And job of cops is being tool of the law.

When you have your laptop being stolen blame yourself and say "it's not cop's job to find me laptop", it doesn't make sense at all. "Oh no they selling my beloved PS3 they stole from me" but you remind yourself "it was my fault so they can sell it" ayy lmao.

Do you know why people are sued, pressed criminal or civil charges so they ended up going to jail or have to pay a huge amount of their money by working their ass off for decades? It's just because they underestimate law because their understanding of law and how world works is shitty kindergarten logic lolol. People literally kill each other and in their defense they say "but he cursed at my mother", or the guy was going to attack in anger without any weapon whatsoever and my criminal kills the guy with a rifle and says "but it was self-defense". What you guys think what law is?
