I know I'd be pretty livid if something I made was being sold by someone else.
That doesn't make any sense. If you're making a pot and you sell it to someone, then you wouldn't be pretty livid if that person were to go resell it because that's their right.
Same.
I think using other ppl's work to compile and make money is not a good idea.
Sounds like printing some "online comics" for someone asking you to do it and selling them.
Or download some mp3 files online everywhere and putting them in a zip archive to sell it to someone.
I'm not sure my exemples are ok, but, this is the idea.
Downloading mp3 files or comics without rights is infringing on author's rights in the first place even without selling intent.
But if someone asked me to put together their own mp3 files or comics which they have the rights to, in this case, chars and stages which are available publicly and on forums, and I accepted to do it in return of being paid for my time and effort, I believe I'm in my right to do so?
how incompetent are these people they want to spend money for you to download files and edit a text file?
you're scamming these people and profiting off others hard work, at best
A mechanic is "incompetent" to grow vegetables in their own yard, because they don't have the knowledge and time to plant, so they ask a farmer to do it.
Is the farmer scamming the mechanic by selling him his vegetables?
Are those people incompetent, or just competent in other areas besides Mugen because we need people doing other kind of stuff like being doctors treating Covid, firefighters etc... and they don't all have time to sit down to download chars and learn how to use select.def.
There's already a person compiling Mugen games on Fiverr and getting paid for it.
Here's a copy-paste of a testimonial from a buyer:
"I didn't know how to use mugen and make characters but the seller helped with everything and he did exactly what I wanted"
Isn't the seller actually doing a service to these people?
If the buyers are contended, where's the problem?
Do you usually leave positive reviews to buyers who scam you?
