+cmart604 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 This does bring up an interesting question though....since it sounds like Michael from GDG likely won't be making more games for the Inty, who would be able to make an updated Blix?

Just because Good Deal Games said that they would not publish new titles, does not mean that they won't make more copies of Blix. The rights to Blix were tied up for 3 years by @Games. I believe that will be up soon. They revert back to Good Deal Games. It doesn't mean that you should be encouraging people to pirate the title.

Games For Your Intellivision Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 ...who would be able to make an updated Blix? Maybe I don't understand English very well. But, to me 'make' means 'create'........no voices required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) And, to be clear, GDG will be selling more copies.....so 'making an updated Blix' is piracy........ or did you get so used to 'super pro' ing everything?

JasonlikesINTV Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 And, to be clear, GDG will be selling more copies.....so 'making an updated Blix' is piracy........ However, I can tell you for a fact that the irrational vitriol that 'Blix' caused, chased Good Deal Games right out of the Intellivision publishing scene. The last we talked about it, Michael has no plans to ever publish anything else for the Intellivision, specifically because of the reaction that it got on Atari Age. ...so which is it?

mr_me Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If an updated Blix doesn't use any of the original code than its not software piracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If an updated Blix doesn't use any of the original code than its not software piracy. Could be a trademark violation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) If it copies any of its original music or creative graphics than it could still be a copyright violation.

GenetixJ Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Uh-oh! If GDG makes more copies of Blix, then the owners of the original 30 will be venting that they've lost money. Quick! Everyone sell your copies to me! Just because Good Deal Games said that they would not publish new titles, does not mean that they won't make more copies of Blix. The rights to Blix were tied up for 3 years by @Games. I believe that will be up soon. They revert back to Good Deal Games.

The rights to Blix were tied up for 3 years by @Games. I believe that will be up soon. They revert back to Good Deal Games. It doesn't mean that you should be encouraging people to pirate the title. Just so we're super clear, I was not at all encouraging or suggesting that someone should make pirated copies of Blix. I was referring to the fact that it had been well documented that there was a three year period where the rights were held by Atgames and that after that period new copies could be made. I also know that you had said that since Michael didn't have a great experience selling Inty games he was unlikely to do so again. This led to me musing about who had the rights to do so. It was most certainly not a call to anyone to go ahead and make pirated copies but more a case of me hoping the "fixed" version would one day get released so that more people would get to add this game to their collection. That was the sole reason for my post. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
