I still don't feel like including any utilities into the charts just due the fact that there're simply TOO many and I can't (and won't) check all of them if they're major or not. If you wanna see some charts which include all the utility releases, check out aminet's top d/l chart. :) Well, some of you may seen the text released by Orb about their release of Pinball Mania, so there's my statement: You guys seem to really need to release at least something, just because I've NO FUCKING IDEA what you're talking about. Try to cheat someone else please. If you still think your release is more final than the one from TCE, please COMPARE both releases since there're absolutely NO differences except for the AT thing. Bug fixes? GET LOST. It's not my fault when you guys wasted money on an useless original, but there's one thing you maybe should think about: Check with someone who actually IS member of the scene since you guys aren't. Period. Another thing you may have seen are the "Real Crack Charts" released by Nitro/Prodigy. Well, be honest, are things like who supplied a game or who cracked it really THAT important for RELEASE CHARTS? What should that be good for? Anyhow, Prodigy got rated as the number one in their own charts - huh - wasn't exactly THAT the reason why I want to keep THIS charts not involved to ANY group? Maybe the last issue was a bit unfair to Prodigy, I'm not that asshole who doesn't accept any mistakes, always remember that, but since I included charts for the foreign stuff as well now there should't be any mistakes and stuff in the future. Just another note to all the groups who would like to be a part of this charts but can't somehow (or just call it lack of originals) so they're just releasing HD-Versions of games which are already installable (since they're DOS) or those really anoying AGA-Fixes of games NOBODY still wants to play: Just STOP releasing this totally USELESS BULLSHIT. Thanks alot.
