S.T.A.L.K.E.R 1.0004 trainer

[Synaesthesia]

All I'm curious on is when did I became a "thief"? When I made that tutorial on how to update trainers? That's what's puzzling me. Was enough to show people how to do it, I immediately became the black sheep of all times related to this field of "activity". Also, what happens when you train a game on your own and stumble across the same code someone else has? Sure, your approach will differ, but would the other person be willing to test all your code before yelling you stole his shit? Of course not - they never read between the lines.

As for people downloading and me accusing, am not wrong at all. You may own your business, but you can't put your hand on your heart and affirm you've never downloaded a game either to play or train it...

P.S.: I am making my own stuff, and unlike others, I post it wide open in public so others can learn from it. Call me dumb for not making profit from it, it's just how I am. I never made any money out of selling my work. It surely isn't a tutorial, but that's what forums are good for - posting feedback and what you didn't understand from the post. I consider it moronic to debate on proving myself capable of doing all I "rant", since no matter what I'd do, I would be seen with the same eyes by some people. Talk about holding grudges. Related to coding, I've done that too, probably just to fend off the drive someone's gotten into me, but mostly because I needed it. No matter what language or scripting language a trainer is coded/written in, it's a trainer. Not being coded in a programming language and being called a noob for it is just a freaking trifle (whim - English is not my main language, so...)

Also, I never denied it's me, DAB You just didn't read between the lines. Wrote 2 or 3 times it's me

@Synaesthesia: You can find a small explanation about our (lack of) hypocrisy in the forum FAQ; I suggest you read it.

We don't (and can't) care if you obtain illegal stuff (re-distributing software against its license is illegal, there's no point in arguing about it), just don't discuss it on this forum. And, especially not in front of the very people who wrote that stuff.

Yes, I also prefer free software and, yes, I also give away my software for free. But that's beside the point: others have the right to not to do so, sell their software instead, and the best I can do is either buy it or ignore it. There are, of course, other possibilities but... again, see the hypocrisy explanation. And, yes, the whole world is much more complicated than discussing legally (?) obtained software on a forum but, well, this forum is not supposed to solve all the problems of the world either.

I see this is also beginning to sound like a rant so I'll stop now... Please, drop the topic; while you may be right on some issues, these are not the issues we deal with on this forum. Thanks!
