Forums / So Apparently Square-haven Steals Material.

So I'm playing Half-Life, and enjoying it greatly--what with it being the first game I'm playing *through* in over at least a year and a half. Time being a premium in my situation right now, I've checked FAQs a couple times. But when I browse the credits, what do I find?

http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/game/43362.html

Go to the FAQ/Walkthrough by El Greco. Ctrl + F "Squarehaven". You'll notice the following:

"----------------------------------------
SITES WHERE THIS GUIDE MAY NOT BE HOSTED

^ Yes, I am pointing directly at your site, Dave, and not with my index finger
either.

Also, these sites I am not familiar with but apparently they are known to
steal work from authors without permission, so for these sites you also get
the big 'NO'. If you see your site on this list then just don't post it, I
will find out about it. To my loyal readers, if you see one of my guides on
one of these sites then please send me an e-mail about it, thank you."

Right above . . .

Just thought you might want to know.

And this is based on what, our one walkthrough of FFVII?

What kind of material would we be stealing, exactly? I am wondering also at what point in time Squaresoft or Enix published Half Life so that we might be tempted to steal this person's hard work and claim it as our own. Oh look, he even removed his e-mail, so he can't answer for his libel.

Thanks for the heads-up....I suppose..

Perhaps we may have posted walkthroughs in the past without obtaining permission, but never without attribution. If there's an actual SH hate club I'd like to know.

And please, if you really want want text walkthroughs just go to Gamefaqs. No one here's gonna check periodically to see if some kiddie's work is up to date.

I remember bringing this up a while back as well... I can't recall who I brought it up with, but I think it was over IRC....

But, the replay was about the same, "Who cares?"...

We love you Matt!

Not another rant from someone who wrote an FAQ without 'stealing' things from other people. Hell I even attribute sites when I can't be bothered translating Japanese album titles myself. Bah, stealing my arse.
