All of this leads us to the $60 branding-free option that is prominently offered on his site, or the "premium" games.

When was this decision made to allow crippleware at vb.org?

What's next?? nagware, demoware, adware?

Isn't there a double standard being applied here? If not, then Brian, Cinq, The Geek (and others) should be allowed to distribute their products through here as well.

Also- I feel that by turning on some of the "automatic game update" features in that hack may open future potential trojan/backdoor situtations, and that vb.org may want to think twice before supporting such "innovations."

they are not the same as geek's situation. he is still providing the hack for free and the license for free. he only does this process to avoid/deter pirating of the software. do not put brian as innocent either. Brian requires an authorization code to get support on his website. i do not know about this automatic update thing but a branding free option is legal and why can't he charge for premium games?
