Group id #223 : Protovision
There are some entries from Protovision that should be deleted from the database.
Those entries are commercial releases (without a downloadlink) and not scenereleases.

Quote: The rules say that a crack is basically any modified version of an existing game even it does not add any value, and that the CSDb "very much prefers" freeware "cracks" over the originals that are "available anyway" although they understand that some individuals started to release original games directly to the scene, which could therefore exceptionally be considered scene releases.
The rules also state that whining about the rules is prohibited.
Well let's get out of here then.
Good point. I also think that games that are released directly to the scene are scene releases. (And cracks and introlinked versions of such games are extremely pointless (except of when improvement, trainers, and such things add the value to the original game, and than only when the game seems to be finished by the author who doesn't seem to be willing to release any other versions))

So the same should apply for e.g Metal Warrior games from Covert Bitops then? They have their own release here too.

these aren't commercial releases, and thus belong here. |

Nope, I fail to see the difference between to be a scener or not if you release something for the C64 in the years 2000+. In my opinion it doesn't matter if it's freeware or commercial. We should be happy that anyone releases anything for that computer. We all should bunch our energy instead of this stupid feud. ;) |

Let's see when the first one suggests to remove all events from CSDb which required to pay an entrance fee. This makes them commercial and therefor such an event can't be scene.
