Commercial Game laws
Alright after much debate within the NoName team we came up with some laws concerning the Commercial games in the csdb.
Releases:
law #1 : game must have scene related creators, or atleast one
Creators:
law#2: a non scener can be enterred into the database, only to credit him for his ripped material being used by others in scene productions such demos, mags, intros, etc.
law#3: the non scener mentioned in law#2 cannot have his or her games in the csdb, since these are not 'scene related
Well, i guess this should explain it a little bit. For further questions write them down here.
The CSDB team will now slowly adress every game enterred here, and remove when necessary (God what a task.. bah:).
So feel free to comment... |

All those "laws" only make sense if you define what exactly is a "scener". I briefly checked the docs section, but couldn't find any definition. |

I won't argue about possible ideological issues but for the purpose of those "laws", I think "one who has worked on noncommercial C64-production(s) that have been released through some noncommercial distribution channel" is good enough. |

For the purposes of this site, people who have been involved in the C-64 demo and/or cracking scene are "sceners". Easy as that. |

@MWS: don't worry, I recognize the role of Radwar for the c64 scene, I was part of it too when you guys were around (my previous post was meant as a joke).
But at the same time I also realize that role is not as big as you guys sometimes would like to make it seem .. there has been plenty of scene-activity going on after you left, you know .. |

manfred trenz has released "funpaint II" through 64er magazine for that matter.... not quite "non commercial" though :) |

Mmhh yes, I thought about lamers :D releasing something through C64 magazines when I formulated that "rule" not depending on definition of "Scene", and yeah, ultimately a magazine such as 64'er isn't noncommercial form of distribution IMO, so I consider my ass covered :) |
