There are a bunch of people who take comissions. Make a whole character, making sprites from scratch, coding, color separation, and so on. Not to mention people who develop tools like Fighter Factory, sprite/sound rip tools, hitbox viewer, stage viewer, vselect... They don't ask anything for it but they have donations open, it's different than selling.done right to other mugen coders-- said, February 26, 2020, 07:35:42 amIf you want to sell something, go develop your own engine, start a new company and hire people.or use open bor... but openbor sucks compared to mugen... so why not use mugen...

I support him the same way I would want someone to support my dream.【MFG】gui0007 said, February 26, 2020, 07:44:50 amThat's why he came here, to defend his beloved friend trying to justify that selling MUGEN content via paywall it's okay. Oh well. xDI came to this thread cuz I heard there was ppl talking negatively about something I enjoy. so I had to see for myself. then I wondered why. I got my answer. and thanks for promoting the group here <3
I think you're overestimating the amount of work Ace put into this game, especially in comparison to the people who originally made the content he included. Legal issues aside, it hardly seems fair that one guy gets to profit off what is effectively the work of others; it'd be like if someone took the free, open-source IKEMEN GO engine, changed the app title to IKEMEN STOP, then started selling it/asking for donations as if they did all the work.
i've always seen mugen compilations on the same light as youtube reaction videos. where some talentless nobody takes something made by someone with actual talent and simply rides on their hard work to gain attention by adding nothing of value (and even worst are the idiots who support it)now, you can simply ignore it and say "oh, it's another one of those. whatever". but, to also make money out of someone's else work is the lowest. and of course, they always get deffensive whenever they get called out.alternatively, mugen comilations are the modern version of this (but sleazier)
Ok, let's just go back to the start.At the start the general comunity stabndars were like this:To do anything re-using other people's work you needed to get permission. that's it, you just had to get an agreement like two consenting adults, like in the real world; If i sell you a computer for $5 and we both consent is ok, If I sell the smae computer for 5k dollars and we boht consent it is also ok.But, as time went on, some creators overdid this; it got pretty riduculous ; creators that had quit for years still have their creations banned becasue there was no way to get consent ; some creators evne forbid peopel from taking screenshots of their works. So the comunity did a shift on ethics; reusing other people's work was ok as long as credit was given. The line was dranw there, even if permission was given you still needed to ask for permission if you were to monetize your reuse. I won't get into details now but there was a lot of backlash on selling mugen stuff back then, from annoying creators to being at risk of being targeted by capcom and snk, because, as Isaid before about getting permission, we literalyl asked permission from the original game creators, capcom, snk, french bread, etc... and they said they were ok as long as nothign was being sold, with the exception of french bread, whom were such a small company that having mugen versions of their characters actully damaged them, so french bread characters got banned from the mugen comunity until they changed thier mind/grewinto a bigger company.that's a summary of all the historical context you are missing.

I don't have to pay for my 3d printer schematics. i just have o take the time to find good work so I can print what I want. and sell itand openbor is open source and they have no problem with you making your own game... in fact they encourage it. they will "molebox" it for you. be it really be just encrypting the pak file...

AND if you think ppl are profiting on it is bad it must mean your always in the red cuz you make no money. but thats trying to turn your hobby into a business. if its just a hobby why get mad when someone wants to at least be in black for their efforts at 1 point. -That is the dream Walt... being in black for your effort
Maybe its cuz my moral and ethics get tested daily just to get by... but I see nothing wrong with trying to monetize mugen. even when using other ppls tools aka assetsand I am a believer of asking for forgiveness than the latter asking for permission...and I'm not defending Ace... I speaking up for those who have ideas on monetizing mugen. I think those ideas should be shared and expounded upon to make those ideas better.... just like this community does with other mugen ideas....

You could always monetise MUGEN by creating something completely original and obtaining a commercial licence from Elecbyte, thus allowing you to legally sell your game, but that's not the case here in the slightest; Ace does not have a commercial licence to monetise the engine and has neither legal ownership over the characters—as the assets are from commercial games—nor creative ownership because he didn't make them and the edits made to them are minimal in contrast, so you're paying a guy money to get access to a game full of characters you can effectively get for free from their original sources.But hey, it's your money you're using to fund illegal distribution of the engine and copyrighted content, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do understand tho. still don't agree. its hard out here in these streets. and also in the mugen monetization block. Yall be str8 banging on fools who disrespect the set by trying to come up. Str8 Gangsta and I can respect that.
