Talk:Don't Buy This

Huh?

CRASH gave it 39.333333%[2] hence the game's title.

I feel I'm being dense, but I don't understand. Can someone explain this? Optimus Sledge (talk) 18:36, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

As in you shouldn't buy it (title reads "Don't Buy This") because it got such an awful rating. Wow I hope noone ever discovers I was reading this article :P hehehehe Geqo (talk) 04:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

The vague phrasing makes it appear that CRASH's review led to the naming of the game, or something of that nature. I'll see what I can do to make it clearer. Reach Out to the Truth (talk) 16:41, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

After reading the review thoroughly, I have decided to remove CRASH's review from the Reception section. The review was written as a joke and I couldn't find anything that could be treated as proper criticism. Reach Out to the Truth (talk) 16:51, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

copyright

Hmm would the statement in the manual "Firebird disowns all copyright in this product. It may be copied, lent, hired or transmitted at will." count as a free licence release? while it fails to mention allowing derivative works " disowns all copyright" would cover that.©Geni 22:35, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Tone

I think that this needs to be written a little less like it was based on Ashen's review on "Terrible Games You've Probably Never Heard Of". This is an encyclopedia article, not a biting stab at a bunch of poor programmers. --72.215.154.250 (talk) 20:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
