Quoted from gjm7777:While it's going to be each person's own views & reasoning for selling any games attributed to JT , To those that are selling their machines in light of this news I'd ask the following questions as I'm trying to understand the rationale.
If you feel sick for owning a game that JT has worked on, or sick at the prospect of a child playing said game - why would you entertain the idea of exchanging money for it?
If you feel that said machine hurts you or others around you, wouldn't the best course be to destroy the machine to ensure it doesn't get further exposure?
If you don't feel the machine is hurting anyone, then why would you sell it in the first place?
I'm not calling out anyone here, but when I see these machines suddenly going up for sale in various places (not heavily discounted in the slightest), I have to think that people are simply using this time to get out and maintain maximum profit - and if someone is concerned with maintaining maximum profit off a situation like this, while claiming this upsets them, makes them sick etc, well - it's very telling in my opinion.
No doubt all of this is very polarizing thus far - but I can't let one person who had involvement with design of a game be responsible for the sum of it's parts. How can you dismiss the contributions of Python for his art and concepts or Forden for his amazing soundtrack and design on Bride of Pinbot for example and hang everything squarely on JT?
These were some of my same questions when people started saying they will be distancing themselves from his machines. I understand people who want to do this, but my first thought was, we all know, no one will be fire selling them to get rid of them due to this. They might post them for sale, but are still going to try and get every penny out of them they can.
