Like I said before, it's not the fact that they're telling me to buy a game. That shoud be expected. If you can buy the game, you should. It's the fact that buying the game is impossible in the sense of paying the creators to get their product. And them telling me to do such an action is why I thought it was pretentious and therefore worthy of being a "moral fag" (a pretentious, self righteous preacher).

So in summary:

1. The action they tell us to do is nearly, if not actually, impossible (depending on your interpretation of buying via auction/used satisfies giving the creators their dues or not).

2. Therefore because they tell us to do such an impossible action, I felt that they were being pretentious.

That's it >.< I can't summarize it anymore, and it's what I replied over and over, so I know it won't change your opinion like you couldn't change mine.

So from what I understand they're pretentious for asking people to buy Tsukihime even though it wouldn't benefit Type-moon?

What I'm saying is basically conjecture since I wasn't following the scene yet at that time but:
Tsukihime is an old game, one that came out around the year 2000.
Tsukihime was later on rereleased as Tsukibako around mid 03. Tsukibako is an enhanced port(new mastered music)/side stories/ sequel.
If I'm not mistaken Mirrormoon was formed around either late 03-04.
It is possible that at that time people were still able to obtain the game through stores.

Now at the present date, and as you know, a Tsukihime remake is in the works.(with the possibility that it might even release this year)
They're asking to please buy Tsukihime when you can. "When" being an indefinite measure of time (with in the boundaries of our lives).
It doesn't really matter if you buy the original or Tsukibako, so it wouldn't really matter if you buy the remake.

The end result is still the same, their translation of the game helped Type-moon make a sale. (of course I can't speak for them, so I'm assuming that's one of the goals they're aiming for, I'm guessing another would be for the enjoyment of their english speaking peers, another would be to convert normal people to otakus and ruin English speaking societies)
