That's what the page says NOW. When Shift (and Yin-Yang) was released, the page said that the ideas were free to use with credit back to the original source. It is largely because of these two games that I changed the license, due to the fact that my options were either to shut down the site to prevent other people from taking the ideas uncredited or just give it away and hope that the fact that each entry is dated and the site was popular enough that I could later create the ideas myself without worry of being sued over implementing my own god damn designs.alisdair said:
And again, my complaints are not that someone made a game based on one of my ideas (though the whole charging money thing seems rather sleazy to me). It happens all the time. There's probably been a dozen completed games (and two dozen uncompleted ones) based on my site. My complaint is that I was contacted by Armor Games to work for them. They cut off discussions and a few months later, Shift comes out. I guess they decided, why buy the cow when the milk is free?
when you end up buying nothing but 5$ it hurts the bank.
