REQ: Stolen trainers to be removed from GCW

[jeremy_mccurdy]

I can understand a quality over quantity approach, but when a trainer is of a relatively similar quality of another one that would require people to pay, I don't see why hosting the free one should be considered bad practise.

When the core is stolen from another program, it's pretty obvious that the two programs should be of similar quality, right? So, this fact makes no difference at all...

TippeX hates to see his code reused in another software without authorization; I don't do such "mainstream" software but mine was being used without authorization, too, and I wasn't happy about it either. I think you've been outvoted.

Yeah, but there's instances where a CH trainer is only available as a promo version for literally months while other full featured releases are available within days of the games release, some of these apparently use some code from CH trainers, but are free and available long before CH releases the full free version of their trainers.

So in that instance, Kelsat's trainers are of higher quality for people that aren't paying members of CH.

Like caliber has said, if he didnt do trainers for CH what trainers would Kelsat be doing.

Exactly.. Most people dont get this idea. And they have been using warez that much they think everything is free.

So Caliber spends hours and hours on coding for a trainer, why not get paid for it, you get paid for doing your real life work right? You Do? If so let me know your boss's name and company and address and your name, then ill let him know you will be doing work for free but ill be paid instead....

Didnt think you would like that idea, but that is basically what Kelsat does.

I agree with most of what everyone here is saying aside from this little analogy. Kelsat isn't making money from his stealing code. It would be more like me working for possibly slightly less money than before, while you take some of the credit for that work.

Anyway, yeah I know that without Caliber's/CH's work, those who leech off them wouldn't have all the preliminary work done for them already, and probably wouldn't end up making trainers at all. I guess it just rubs me the wrong way that quality trainers were released gratis for years before CH came around, but that's just a personal opinion, and I can't really deny the quality of a CH fully featured trainer, or the fact that CH covers a ton of games.
