Well, if people find enjoyment with it, it's all good! It's just a little teasing for fun. ;)

Hello,NightWolve! I love the Pokémon games on GB/GBC,GBA and NDS but i don't think i'm gonna ever get into this Pokémon GO thing.It's silly and that app doesn't appeal to me.I'd rather stick to the old games and not spend any money on this 'trendy bullshit' that is Pokémon GO.

I haven't done sufficient updates to keep up with recent events but as many XSEED fans on Twitter know the company was BUSTED bigtime for cheating Brittany Avery after being fired with the disgraced Tom-chan "The KKK Witch" Lipschultz. This led to the fashionably flamboyant Executive Commander Sterling to produce this most excellent video lambasting XSEED for cheating people!** Boycott X.X.XSEED Games Facebook Page!
XSEED's resident bozo, Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz, pushing an unlicensed/illegal/untaxed repro/bootleg "business" on his Youtube account... SHOCK!!
Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz, the disgusting, hypocritical, bigoted criminal cheat of X.X.XSEED Games uploaded this recent video with his 'WyrdWad' Youtube account where he openly promotes a for-profit unlicensed/illegal/untaxed bootleg/repro "business" for the retro MSX2 platform!!! For reference, their pay-to-play "business" websites are: http://www.ebsoft.fr/shop/, http://www.repro-factory.com/, or http://reprofactory.blogspot.fr/

While the particular game he's pimping is indie, made by for-profit fans (which normally is considered "evil" in his fanatical fan credo anti-capitalist commie mindset), it has a copyright violation issue: The pay-to-play profiteers didn't get a license from the band Depeche Mode, thusly stole the melody of one of their hit songs, "Just Can't Get Enough" for use in a for-profit/commercial cart product... Compare the melody with his uploaded video... Also, do you think proper sales taxes are collected and reported by this gang ?? ARE THEY PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE ?? ARE THEY SQUARE WITH ALL TAX/COMMERCE LAWS ?? YOU KNOW, JUST ASKIN'!!!

I realize the game is homebrew by fans and it'd probably be square with the law if they hadn't ripped off Depeche Mode, but if you also look at the website's blogspot, you'll find old Konami games that are being repro'ed... A few of the front and center games on the main site are fan ports of professional games which also would've been done without a license, now packaged up in nice pretty plastic ready for fans to fork over cash in an unlicensed/untaxed pay-to-play scheme! So yeah, upon further examination, it is a repro-selling outfit per its name, not all the games are innocent indie fan creations and the one he pimped would earn a copyright strike for ripping off Depeche Mode...

Alternate Title: "Ladies' Man Lipschultz" :P
Random XSEED customer getting "charmed" by him:

To be clear, MY personal position is irrelevant, I act as the reporter here! I wouldn't give a rat's ass normally, and there are some nice bootlegs out there, I own some that were donated to me, but THIS MONSTER right here tried to viciously incite the public against me before he was hired by XSEED Games on similar grounds! His hypocrisy and criminality are the issue here!

Tom and "power trolls" like Psycho Kirsten "omgfloofy" Miller attempted to hypocritically torment and browbeat me down for thought crimes in "violation" of their fanatical "fan credo" ideology! "Get a license if you wanna sell, cooperate with the fan community, it's supposed to ALWAYS be free!!! COOPERATE OR RAWWWRRRR!!!" You know the fanatical types out there with their insufferable self-serving moralizing, hypocritical lectures, and worst case they come in certifiable lunatic flavors like the patch leaker, Pyscho PruvMeRong from GameFAQs/4chan! It's all partly why the bigot used his pathetic company to punish me! And now, now you find the corrupt bastard promoting an illegal/unlicensed/untaxed business that HE likes and gosh golly that makes it all A-OK, so it's newsworthy in my book!

Conclusion: F*CK THIS GUY!!!! Seriously, F*CK THIS AHOLE!!!!! Nothing but an arrogant, petty, small-time dirtbag that used his disgusting company for revenge to make his vengeful self feel good in life... That's right, I said it, a petty ass dirtbag, just like Jeff! And the fact is, XSEED really is a disgrace in the videogame publishing world, I genuinely am disgusted it tied Falcom and the Ys series in the same house that publishes weird, questionable, violent stripping and pedo-pandering underage-big-boob girl games, along with their 4 petty criminal sneak/cheat operations on Ys fan translations that they STILL refuse to admit was divisively, criminally cheating one party over another, the lying hacks that they are!! You have NO decency sir, I award you NO points, and may God have mercy on your soul!

Copyright Violation Report Filed Today.

Alright, I got around to reporting XSEED to the proper people who are actually located near Torrance, California, so if they care about protecting their IP and dinging XSEED, they could easily do it! Inter-state legal jurisdiction issues are NOT a problem! It's still a .0000001% chance, but baby steps, you have to try instead of not trying at all... Persistence, determination, etc. are key even when the odds are stacked against you and the disgusting, criminal profiteering cheats will always have the upper hand!

XSEED thinks they can step on people with impunity, i.e. get away with it, so you have to make them regret their callousness, arrogance, stubbornness, cruelty, etc. I have no regard for this "company" whatsoever, ZERO, they deserve the same fate as Working Designs, and BTW they actually burned bridges with Victor Ireland some time back on a Lunar localization, so if you look closely, you'll find they make enemies and burn bridges left and right, etc. with their unprofessional behavior (e.g. John Sears, the 1st Legend of Heroes translator). They're a bunch of embarrassing clowns and there are more cases to prove it beyond taking my word for it or looking at just my situation with them!

Hello,

I'd like to report a copyright violation to your legal department. For the purposes of copyright, I understand that you are the legal owner of the 1982 song "ManEater" by your client "Hall & Oates" ? I was directed by the official Hall & Oates Facebook account to here.

So to begin:

* The copyright violation was perpetrated by a company called XSEED Games, located near you in Torrance, California. Here is the full address info:

XSEED JKS, Inc.
3655 Torrance Blvd, Suite 140
Torrance, CA 90503
support@xseedgames.com
http://www.xseedgames.com/

* This animated screenshot below by me captures the copyright violation involving a line from your client's iconic song, "ManEater." The plagiarized text verbatim is: "Uh-oh, here she comes... Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up!"

https://www.ysutopia.net/images/YsIC-ManEaterLine.gif

* The videogame in question titled "Ys I & II Chronicles+" that uses your copyrighted material is purchased on the Steam platform here, selling for $14.99:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/223810/

So, I think that concludes my report unless you have further questions. I'd like to see them prosecuted if you take your IP seriously as they criminally cheated me when it came to thousands of my work hours, translation software, etc. but I don't feel I can justify the financial costs in addition to the tricky circumstances to have pursued legal action. In seeing what they did here, I took an interest in reporting it to you in the hope that justice comes around their way for other illegal actions, however "innocent enough" that they thought it was.

* For reference, this was my original public report when I discovered their violation:

Yes, Jeff "Call-me-Psycho DeuceBag!" Nussbaum's sister genuinely apologized for the bigoted monster! That's worth something I suppose...
I did report Jeff to his sister via email years ago, but got no confirmation, and I wanted to report him to his father (wanted him to know what a bastard he brought into this world), but he died before that could happen unfortunately... So via Facebook on July 11, 2016, I had a successful exchange with his sister. I wanted somebody in his family to know what a criminal monster he is since he callously opted to remain unapologetically silent for so many years, play stupid about it all! He believes he should've just gotten to escape with silence, aside from his lying, libelous 2011 hit-piece on HardcoreGaming101 thanks to that destructive maniac John Szczepaniak (a Thomas Lipschultz' buddy). He also attacked me at least once on XSEED corporate forums, if you can believe that! I know his wife is aware also, but she's got nothing to say about her criminal husband naturally (stuck with him for better or worse).

Anyway, below is our exchange and her apology seems pretty sincere. I opted to redact her name as a courtesy. Now since Jeff had been trashing both her and his mother at his NeoGeo c*ck-flashing stomping grounds and on Facebook (he talks to me like he talks to his mother, funny enough, all tough guy, "Hey. You. Yes, you."), I was already aware of his estrangement with his family which she mentions... No surprise they don't speak to each other, right ? I should've paid attention to things regarding his malcontent bridge-burning nature or background-checked him more and maybe I would've realized I shouldn't have had ANYTHING to do with this monster far earlier on! Too late for me, but I report these things so no other fool ever works with him again, much less Tom Lipschultz of XSEED and Psycho Kirsten Miller, etc. Any of those who support the criminal self-serving/arbitrary/greedy translator "master/slave cheat principle" (the translator becomes the 100% master owner, while the programmer is but a mere "slave" to be exploited/abused in commercialization opportunities in a "too bad sucka" fashion...).





What better place to showcase a recent meme I created in his honor via his own words, ode to the Psycho DeuceBag, the callous, cocky c0ck-flasher, emphasis on the "cocky":

Is X.X.XSEED [Lame] Games waging a "war on women" of all ages, from underage teens and up ? Hmmmm...Does X.X.XSEED Games pander to animated ped0philia-loving pedo-perverts ?  :-\Did XSEED really "cheat" that NightWolve guy or is he just "crazy" ? I'm undecided. They seem like such friendly people, like Tom...I guess it all just depends on what the meaning of "cheat" is... Sigh, so confusing, who to believe here...
Is XSEED waging a "war on women" of all ages, from underage teens and up ? Recall the Huffington-Puffington Post article on their stripping game whereby some in the feminist camp would say yes... Do they pander to pedo-pervs at some level, however small or not ? We'll have a bit of a look at what one of their customers said.

First, let's recap, (1) we know that Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz used his company for revenge against another Falcom/Ys fan that he was feuding with before being hired by the company, (2) that they're criminal cheats who'll exploit the fan community and the free work hours that were done in the past for fan purposes so they can save some time and a buck or two in localization costs! (3) We also know Tom was a highly animated animated-child p0rn0gr@phy defender way before working for XSEED Games... You can find his activist posts trying to get people to lobby the Japanese government not to pass restrictions against cartoon pedo-p0rn0gr@phy back when such legislation came up. Recall his quote, "And yes, I do defend animated child p0rn0gr@phy under freedom of expression and am PROUD to do so!" So yes, you could say he is "highly animated" on such subjects with that big mouth of his... ;)

Now as people know, I'm staging a boycott because this is a bigoted, arrogant, stubborn company that refuses to apologize and correct the injustices they perpetrated against me in their shameful, illegal Ys script acquisition deals that led to my lying, conniving, thieving, scheming, criminal translator, Jeff "Call-me-Psycho DeuceBag!" Nussbaum, pocketing 100% corporate profit/credit for 4 translated results he was in possession of given our paperless fan partnership/organization, that is, due to thousands of my IT/tech work hours for Japanese text and image extraction/preparation and translation software/etc... They actually broke the law in their commercialization efforts, but literally DO NOT CARE so long as NightWolve "got exactly what he deserved, NOTHING," it's all good! They think cheating me is BETTER PR/public relations than not... That's STILL the malicious mentality that you're dealing with here, monsters without ANY remorse/empathy for the hurt they caused, disgusting as it is!! It's ironic how Lipschultz became part of the "evil corporation" and used it for evil being he was a bigoted anti-capitalist commie decrying the evils of capitalism once upon a time...

Per my boycott, I can't judge these "games" of theirs since I don't buy their products, am NOT a fan, and I advocate said boycott until (1) they publicly apologize for cheating me and (2) properly credit me in the Ys games in question! How hard is that ?? HOW HARD IS THAT ?? To the shills that pretend this is crying over spilled milk, that's a LIE - they could make peace with me tomorrow and correct the crediting in the Steam releases in a day or two! Instead they choose defiance daily, thus I do too! That's how it goes! If it was too late to fix this, THEN you could bark at me to "get over it" and demand I cease negative comments about them... But, they continue to refuse on a daily basis, which means they do not learn from their past and if they truly believe they did nothing wrong, we should worry they could do this again to somebody else in the future! I believe in accountability, even with a pathetic videogame company such as this one!

To the point, it's great when I can find other people that have no connection to my grievances and are willing to point out that this is a disgusting company in their opinion for other reasons. Enter Sean of Minnesota, a father of a 4 year-old daughter who was willing to criticize XSEED, tell them what he thinks of this "Senran Kagura 2" game they recently localized! I, ladies and gentlemen, on the other hand have officially been blocked from posting on their main Facebook page even though I never posted there since 2010 (I think)... The troll behind the XSEED account answering him back is none other than Thomas Lipschultz. I recognize his writing and line of thinking anywhere - he likely blocked me. However, I can still post in the FB page of the pedo-perv Senran Kagura 2 game (my post is still not deleted, am surprised)! Wonder why ?



I love how Lipschultz reminds him that it's simply "his opinion..." Well duh, to quote Maddox, who else's would it be ?? Hahahaha!!!!

"That we cheated you, NightWolve, is simply your opinion (hint hint, it has no weight, we don't care, it's mostly limited to, you know, just YOU!), you didn't translate a single word!! You were just a text delivery boy, you will NEVER, NEVER be credited, mwahahahaha!!! You delivered text from point A to point B which constitutes a 'service' at best! As for IP Rights violations, your software being used for commercial purposes to export the translations, GIVE ME A BREAK, it was just a poor man's Microsoft Notepad/Word equivalent, NOBODY had to respect your copyright/IP on it, NOBODY, least of all Jeff or us, mwahahahahaha!!!!! Who cares, cry me a river, just suck it up, move on, get over it, get over it, GET OVER IT!!! We won, you lost!!!!!"





The rest speaks for itself. So yeah, it's good to see more people speaking up about this disgusting criminal cheat of a company for their own reasons. It does seem there's an intersection with their criminal/immoral/unethical behavior in how they criminally cheated me and the type of games they choose to localize. There's a disconnect that's there... They're, in their mind, "above" our common social mores, values, good taste, and even laws if they can get away with it...

Can you think of other companies that would make enemies of fans of their products such as what they did ?? I cannot... I don't understand their continued defiance in providing a remedy, that is, what they gain by it... I can only guess it's vindictive satisfaction because the other possibilities don't make much sense...

X.X.XSEED Games, ladies and gentlemen, living up to their rip-off of a name... ;) Give 'em a round of applause, especially to Lipschultz! Ain't he a great guy, that Tom ??

Wow, the embarrassment and shame he's brought to this company, I've never seen anything comparable like it elsewhere in all honesty and yet he STILL has a job there! His behavior is rewarded/tolerated! How this lying, cheating criminal monster pulled this all off (same goes for Jeff) I'll never really know!!!!

What would a Bruce Lee versus Jean Claude Van Damme match look like ?? Works out being pretty cool actually:

Heya Jiza, heh, I still get surprised when I see a new post here now and then. I technically was supposed to end the "forum" gig after "Retro ISO Gaming Guild" as activity/membership dried up when I stopped producing PCE archives and the Ys stuff alone never was enough by itself (given competitors)... When it all stopped being fun, and instead became a responsibility, a chore, plus an unwanted association, it was time to move on, so I shut it down.

Using a forum model is still technically wrong for me, I still trapped myself with "ysutopia.net" while Facebook and Twitter are better suited to me, but I wanted some kind of engine to continue to distribute my software given my legacy and have something of my own to occasionally blog on, rare as it is. I figured the forum aspect could just be informative sections on the Ys and other patches, and one general section just in case, and that could justify a "forum/blog" of sorts. But yeah, that I get a posting visitor now and then surprises me. ;)

Anyway, back to the subject. Yeah, there's something lame about this line in the Ys world. I didn't consider "tacky" but that's an interesting choice word for it. Now the really funny thing is if these bozos didn't get licensed permission since it's a word-for-word line plagiarized from the song, unlicensed usage for a commercial product is technically illegal, regardless if you find it "innocent" enough... It would be great if the copyright holder gave a shit after it gets reported to the right email address, but it's a long shot as I mentioned.

To be clear, I wouldn't care about this under normal circumstances, neither would most people, but this is the company that exploited my translation software, recruitment of a translator, Japanese script/image extraction techniques, marketing, general IT work, in other words, all of the thousands of my work hours that were done for free as a fan under fan circumstances that NEVER would've been done for their commercial operation had I known they'd get to cheat me down the road the way that they did in conspiracy with a backstabbing ex-translator/partner and the warring ahole bigot who the company hired and who pitched the idea, etc. It was an unjust enrichment, exploitation, and technically illegal given my translation software, all of these things, whether examined morally, ethically, or legally, etc.

So yeah, you can't just use other people's writing material like that to put jokes in your game or whatever other entertainment media that it is without licensing the usage... How many work hours did the Hall & Oates song writers spend to come up with that iconic line, to make it popular, only for it to one day wind up in a videogame localized by X.X.XSEED Games without proper permission and payoff if permission was not given freely ? ALL that work so that a dumb, petty, pedo-pandering degenerate like Tom-chan "Keep the KKK, man!" Lipschultz could one day stuff in it his plagiarized, vandalized edited hack script... F#cking pathetic!

You're supposed to f#cking ask for permission in these cases, which could be given for free, but usually you gotta talk business and pay the copyright holder for it... Of course XSEED did NOT bother, but I'd have to eat my words and delete this thread if there's mention of licensing in the ending credits of the game, like a special thanks to Hall & Oates to indicate they licensed proper use... But yeah, extremely doubtful cause they likely think this usage was "innocent enough" to make a dumb joke about how a nurse is overly strict/anal/controlling/nagging/etc.
