Thumbs down I don't know about you but...

These are the guys who helped to kill the Amiga off. Many developers would have stayed if their games weren't so heavily pirated on the Amiga and we would have seen games like Syndicate Wars and maybe Magic Carpet. It's the crackers who eventually killed the Amiga market by making these cracked games available to the public through markets and computer clubs. If it wasn't for these guys cracking Amiga games and spreading them like wild fire the Amiga might still be with us today. It bothers me now but didn't seem to when I was a teen. Pirating was just a way of life back then. Now I realise why the Amiga is not with us today. If the cracked games didn't exist I would have bought original games no question. A lot of the original games I bought were because I couldn't get a decent cracked version. As for calling them Heroes. I think villains would be more appropriate. Just my opinion. If you disagree with me then bring it on.
