It's amazing how some people completely misses the main point sometimes: you are part of a community, and if the community doesn't like some attitude, you should adjust yourself to that, or leave the community.
And it's rarely about just 'an isolated action' - I was just speaking about this last night on IRC - things pile up, until people start to think 'why will I subject myself to this?'
So, this is the question: are we going to respect the developers wishes (be it to just release games on cart, just host it on his own site, respect the effort taken - even if the game looks bad - or whatever), or are we going to keep loosing more and more talented people?
You, Sir, are a shameless demagogue. Speaking on behalf of community like it's some sort of singular intelligence hive mind controlled borg collective.
Down with you and your preposterous self-aggrandizement, I say!

Very concise arguments you have there!
As everyone else, I was writing about MY OPINION - nowhere I said I was speaking on behalf of anyone, let itself on the community.
But if you can't see that the majority of the community can share the same views/opnions and everyone should follow it, or leave the community... then please, see the definition of a community
Me gustaría pensar que quizá con la cabeza fría las cosas se vean de otra manera y que Kralizec no nos dejara para siempre. Sus juegos rebosan calidad por los cuatro costados. Si no es así y no vuelve, nos quedará pena en el corazón y les agradecemos su fantástica labor de soporte del estándar.
Rough translation (my Spanish is not so good; I 'feel' it when I read it but it's hard for me to mould it into English):
"I like to think that, perhaps in the heat of the emotions, things are perceived in a certain way, and that Kralizec's departure may not be permanent. The quality of their games surpass the average in many ways. If it's not the case that they will reconsider their decision, we will be left with pain in the heart, but altogether we are thankful for their fantastic work in supporting the standard."
Funny thing is: My conversions we're not allowed to run on real carts, and Kralizec's Gonnies are not allowed to run NOT on real carts. Maybe we can find a balance.
I would bet Kralizec is just kiting with us and laughing a lot somewhere in Spain. Maybe he's just based on Slotman's "PITI"/"Ill abandon the MSX scene FOREVER!!!", like I did in the past.
It is NOT normal to react like that due to piracy. Even on small communities.
On the remote probability that he's saying the true, that's fine. We're not loosing anyone thats not already lost on his own EGO.
