Commercial games in CSDB
Is it just me wondering why all the commercial games are being added to CSDB? I wouldn't call "Firebird" a scene-group...

my guess is that it was just an easy thing to add... just like lots of people add productions without credits or anything (or at least used to, dont know if its still the case), adding the name of a game or game company is just that... easy...
of course we all know why MacGyver (or any other Protovision guy) thinks that companies belong in here aswell =)
other scene groups like X-Ample in fact DID work on games (and still do, even if on different platforms now), and that kind of information clearly belongs here imo.
people like Ben Daglish etc. need to be added to give proper music credits to demos... why Manfred Trenz was added... I have no idea... |

In the case of Ben Daglish (Ben) he actually did some (Compunet) demos together with Antony Crowther (Ratt) back in the old days, so he belongs in the CSDB anyway because of that, right?
Thalamus, however, does NOT belong here, it wasn't even a game developer group but a game publisher, for crying out loud...!

okay, maybe Ben Daglish was not a good example of someone who did NOT do demos but nevertheless had his work end up in some =)
but I totally agree about Thalamus... |

Let me butt in for a moment.
I think everybody here knows that the 'scene' we're talking about is the non-professional one, i.e. the demo- and cracking scene right?
So why put information about the professional scene in here?
I would really like to hear from the person (Matt?) who does this stuff. Does he even understand the meaning of the scene?

Okay then...
Don't tell me anything I don't know about the scene 'cause I have been an active (erm) scener for quite some years. (1989-1994).
Anyhow, if you don't feel comfortable me adding all the games why don't you just ask me friendly? Adding a release without adding the credits seem far more worse to me.
If the webmaster wants to delete all the stuff I've added that day (fokkin' raining outside that day ranning out of pot I didn't know what to do ;) ), that's okay.
Kick my ass

I'm much more interested in finding out if a certain group released a demo I didn't know about through this site, even though there may not be any credits added, than finding out which gamecompany produced a certain shoot 'm up.
And since you insist on mixing data from the professional scene with that from the 'hobby'scene for which this site is intended (unless I'm mistaken), you can't blame me for doubting your knowledge. Or for not giving a fuck how long you've been an "active member" since obviously you don't seem to share the same definition of the scene as the rest of us.
You might as well call yourself a scener because you play cracked games. |

There is a lot of incomplete data on sceneres.. our goal should be to complete those first. |

Since you're the expert, I'd better keep my mouth shut, right, mr. scene?
Oh, before you go on any further, I really do know what the scene is all about. I was editor of WOW's discmagazine Internal between 1990-1993.
I thought I made my point clear (read my previous posting) but you obviously don't understand. Leave it, okay?
