| allaboutthegames885 said: This MeleeKirby from Brawlcentral is one sick f*ck... Hacking the game for moveset swaps? Is nothing sacred to this guy? That's the kinda thing you do to the Tekken games (or does one forget about the code to make all the characters super-deformed?), NOT to SSB games, I mean, the "black hole glitch" in Melee was bad enough... Disclaimer: Aatg885 has a great deal of respect for the Tekken series, and would never wish ill on a game series that has provided him with such memorable moments as Jin's ending in "Tekken 4"... Seriously, check it out... However, Aatg885 does not like the idea of violating the end user agreement on video game packaging, and has minimal respect for those who do so. Disclaimer to Disclaimer: Aatg885 does, however, have plenty of respect for those who "mod" without breaking the law. |
Breaking the EULA isn't breaking the law.. It's NOT illegal, though it does give Nintendo the right to take the game away(contract violation = civil case, not criminal case). It's not the same as distributing illegal copies of the game by any stretch of the imagination.
The ONLY thing that might trip him up is the DMCA, since I'm assuming he 'broke' the Wii's encryption to get the modified code to run. Granted I have some issues with the DMCA in reguards to hacking software you've legally purchased.
Of course I'm all for users hacking games. Heck, I've done it myself on many PC titles and I had my fair share of fun 'hunting' for new codes with the NES and SNES Game Genies(hehe, LOVED it when I got the fighters to play upside down in Street Fighter II). The only point where I draw the line is when it comes to doing it to gain an advantage during multiplayer competitive play.
