For my first post in this topic, I spent a while contemplating whether or not I should post, and once I decided I should, it took some more time to decide how i should word it.
After your response, the truth is I don't care how I word this, so I'll get right into it.
An elitist attitude is going to do you no favours when defending copping a style, sure you can list piece to piece differences and reference a "past Pixelation" that was so tolerant they'd let it slide, after all, you placed each pixel yourself.
No, I don't care, I shouldn't have to care enough to read your response and think, "damn, maybe that Jericho is right"
I only have to care enough to let you know I think you're wasting your time, because the first thing I think when I see this, is that someone is doing the minimal effort required to avoid a cease and desist, like someone making a zelda clone, cashing in on a fanbase, and coming from me that should be worth something.
Again, I don't care enough to word this better, less harshly, or more relate-able. This feels like a lost cause, and perhaps that's something you should care about.
Now I know your response is going to go one of two ways, either another angry conceited response with plenty of emphasized words and sarcastic remarks, or just accept that I think this is a waste of time, and making a big deal out of people's honest feedback is an even bigger waste of time.
But my response is only going one way, and that's out of this topic.
