Do they hire people who have recently started skating in the NHL? :) (2Andy Harchenko)

ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Andrew Savichev To All 14 March 1998


Hello, Andy!

I closed the “pirates” topic, and here is your message.
So excuse me, I’ve already said everything I wanted about pirates!
And now briefly, without unnecessary chatter, why it seems to me
we don’t understand each other.

> AS> People save everything for a certain time, do you think to someone
AH>Are you kidding? Or do you want to say that everyone has bags of stamped programs and
AH>they are just waiting for the moment when it will be more profitable to sell it? Yes, ask any
AH>author who announced his project over the last year, how things are, the answers
AH>will be approximately the same - “yes, we are doing it little by little, but study/work,
AH>the girl takes up a lot of time,” etc. After all, there is not a single manufacturer company.
Who should make software for the Spectrum?
As long as it costs from $100 to $3,000, it’s not a company, believe me.
That is, if you could sell 12x3,000 products in a year, then a company
of course you would find it! I think I’m not alone!
But! This is unrealistic, at least today.
Now about how many games there would have been in 98, the year if you hadn’t broken off Slava’s CrDr “wings.”
Yes, there will be more than there will be now. Do you agree with this?
Did you know that ChV contributed to the beginning of the promotion of SEVERAL projects?
We, simply looking at Slava, decided that indeed, by making
quality software, you can make good money.
And the markets are not going well.for the sake of the markets, but to protect OUR FUTURE MONEY!!!
As for “inventing”...this is not talk...it really won’t break...
I can’t say more - a trade secret! :)

> AS> do you want to be in the shadow of ChV? ;) And besides, many authors are now simply “in

AS> shock.” If Vyacheslav, an author revered and respected by all
AS>, was “screwed off” in this way, then who will take into account us, less famous and not at all
AH>And here the point, imho, is not the author’s fame, but the efficiency with which the author
AH>will be able to sell out licensed copies before the pirates do their job.
No one will take such risks. You correctly noted that if someone
invests MONEY, it is not in order to lose it due to RANDOMITY!

AH>Yes, you can think until the very second flood, here you have to do it practically
We do!...but we say what we think ;)

AH>I agree that we need SOMEONE who would encourage traders to buy new
AH>author's works and authors, so that they do not slowed down.
Yes, that’s exactly what is NEEDED, only this SOMEONE must have a NAME
and authority among spektrumists TOO.
The authors work faster than lightning when gold is pouring in for it.
But!...this is when there are “backgrounds”.
Now let’s move on to SUBJ!
What did you traders not understand about the network and about SNS.
It is needed for marketing experiments. Do you understand what it issketch?
And that before writing a “novel” you need “stories”?
Where do you think “fledged chicks” should “take wing”?
Where should we look for a team for serious projects?
All seasoned authors are well known to you traders!
Not enough of your own?
Lure us with money from other platforms, and also don’t interfere with RAISING us
YOUR CHICKENS, our future EAGLES!
So there are many ways!
And feeding the public with UNRIDEN SOUR MEAT is the last thing IMHO!
Only one more thing that you missed in the previous messages.
The FREEBIE FROM THE WEST IS ENDING OFF!

> AS> the perfection of our world order. Stop with partisanship,
> AS> piracy, freebies and chaos!
>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>Words cannot help matters!
"Words supported by the masses and put into practice become MATERIAL
POWER" From myself to the classics I will add that the MASSES supported by MONEY become
material force :). And also, as you remember, “In the beginning there was a word”, and also
excuse something like “YOU SAID!”

>Yes, we don’t pretend to be the real one yet and don’t seem to complain like that :)
Well, look... since everything is fine with you, then I don’t wish harm on you, nor on you - on anyone
else, since you are spektrumists - that’s the only reason why I’m brothers! :)
