Had a few people ask me to use my Pro a lot since I became a Pro Member. That I can keep quiet.
But i've had people offer me "Template Trades" and such over the last couple weeks.
Please don't try anything risky with me, especially if I don't know or talk to you.
I appreciate all the fantastic work people like TSB and DBA put into projects. It's hard work and yes they do it to make money but it IS HARD WORK. It costs them time and money. If their market goes because people are ruining their customer availability with black market templates (And even stolen games) there will be no awesome Templates left for us to learn off.
Especially guys like TSB who offer free videos helping us all the time.
We want them to feel appreciated, because it's people like them who've helped Gamesalad become as successful as it is today AND helped a lot of us get as far as we have.
I don't know why i'm the sudden target for "trading" but if people I don't even talk to keep contacting me about under handed things I won't keep it quiet anymore.
I've had people I do know and respect, offer the same and i've told them i'm not interested. I won't and I don't like putting people into bad situations, but my conscience feels guilty not being able to fix these situations.
I really want these awesome templates and tutorials to stick around and continue being made for us to enjoy.
So please!!! Show some appreciation and save your money and buy templates one at a time, you'll pick it all up eventually.
Rome wasn't built in a day (maybe because of that Spy ozboybrian!)
But I hope this is clear and makes sense to everyone.
P.S No offence to Russians : )
Thanks.

If you can be sure who the contacts are (ie. not pretending to be someone else) - name and shame!
There's no place here for people like this. I'm not pro at present but hope my next game will earn the cash to allow me to make that next step.
I tell you now - if anyone were to contact me in this way I won't hesitate to make their names public, and hopefully GS will ban their IP from the forum and using their software once and for all!
Over the last year we have made 60+ templates and released several games along with client work and maintaining DBA, it takes a lot more work than people think to run DBA so thanks for keeping us up to date with template traders.
We have approx 2500 customers over at DBA and i think it's only a small minority doing this so once again guys thanks for your amazing support over at DBA.
I also agree with the name and shame part but also a strong believer in what goes around comes around.

Yeah and it'll come around a lot quicker when people start naming and shaming!
Go for it boys....
Kept the Pro People quiet this time. (They just want their first game to be perfect is all)
But yeah. I hope what i've said above gets through to some people!
