What really ticks me off is that these a***oles are making money by selling the result of other people's hard work and effort. What have these people contributed to the community? If you asked each of the authors who made the games on these sites if they wanted their work to be sold by someone else, what do you think they'd say?
I was simply referring to the legality of it. Even with GPL code you can charge to recoup losses. Another example would be selling a hat for $2,000. The hat just happens to come with Super Bowl tickets as a free gift. All ways to skirt the law. Is it morally wrong? Damn right it is. I think this thread is getting offtrack tho. LOL
