PC98 Collection hit by DMCA

[Tenkko]

spaztron64's github repository got striked. it was basically a launcher for the PC98 games for those unaware. dude's uh... not very happy about it, bringing up legal issues that the games themselves have. basically a stolen engine used in PoDD (and probably other things in other games, but there's no evidence) and artwork used in a background of HRtP. there's more details in the current repository.

Reading that page was interesting. I wonder how this battle will look like and if Zun could get forced to rescind the claim.

If Zun takes down all the games he should at least sell them also or there's no point in this.

it's quite funny they taken down the PC-98 tbh.
considering all the controversy it has.

joking aside, unlike windows games,
i don't think ZUN will republish the games, assuming if he even could republish it in the first place.
he really killed the game.
Mima gone forever.

I will be honest. All I can say about this whole affair is quite ironic. Especially after reading the post from Spaztron. I would have replied here since first day, but for some reason I decided to wait a bit.
