....so "who" got pissed?

Cat Fancy Japan

 

[Zaptruder]

Die print die! You're just preventing the internets from getting the information faster!

 

[Kafel]

it's okay

 

[Kosma]

I think it's obvious it wasn't Japanese mags that contacted GAF but US based ones that were worried that GAF would post scanse of things they wanted to print in the future too.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Cat Fancy Japan

I mean...like someone work in japanese press or something?

EDIT: nm

 

[sprsk]

Cat Fancy Japan

They got cat pissed.

 

[Mistouze]

Goodbye Jesus and Budha rolled into one... Famitsu thread won't be the same anymore.


That sucks but I understand the reasons behind this.

 

[monchi-kun]

I smell a nezumi.

fixed

 

[batbeg]

Japanese magazines read GAF?

Dude, everyone reads GAF.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I think JAPAN GAF should post youtubes of the magazine news anyway
you'll be a star

 

[TJ Spyke]

it seems their legal teams do

More likely somewhere went and e-mailed Famitsu about the scans.

It's not a big deal to me since the scans are usually shitty, but it was still nice to have them.

 

[Chris Michael]

Wait a second, scans are banned, but can we still get crappy cam pictures of the pages? That's usually what we get anyway.

Spoiler

I am incredibly bitter right now. Sorry.

 

[{Mike}]

So what, they're not gonna Pearl Harbor us

 

[thetrin]

Kinda sucks for those who aren't in Japan, but this gives me minimal motivation to actually go pick up Famitsu every week now. Well, that or just read it at the newsstand.

 

[[Nintex]]

Damn

 

[Totobeni]

so no fam scans , no FFXIII CGI scans anymore ?

 

[Ashodin]

So what, they're not gonna Pearl Harbor us

wat

It's not like they are banned from the internet.

 

[monchi-kun]

i wonder how much money a publisher can make by localizing famitsu weekly in english and releasing it in western territories...

good point if I lived in Japan the only reason I would buy Famitsu would be to scan and share on GAF ;p

seriously this is why people have Nintendo Power subscriptions

 

[Roi]

Lol I don't really care.

 

[duckroll]

I hope there's a HUGE media blow out on tons of games in tomorrow's Famitsu. :lol

 

[itsinmyveins]

WTH?

A lot of ad revenue riding on japanese publications? For GAF?

 

[thetrin]

I hope there's a HUGE media blow out on tons of games in tomorrow's Famitsu. :lol

You are a vile human being but I support this. :lol

 

[batbeg]

I hope there's a HUGE media blow out on tons of games in tomorrow's Famitsu. :lol

Well, we're just in time for next months Nippon Ichi blowout, right?

YAY!

 

[JDSN]

Can we still make avatars out of the scans if we find them?

 

[Tyrannical]

I could never figure out all those squigly doodles surrounding the pictures anyways.

 

[thetrin]

It's not like they are banned from the internet.

Yeah, but having to go looking for it (rather than having it force fed to me on GAF) is actually more work than just reading the damn magazine at a convenience store during my lunch hour.

 

[commissar]

I propose that rather than posting the scans, we instead create our own mspaint renditions of them.

Genius. This has definite potential :]

 

[hteng]

what the fuck? lets make those online petitions now!

 

[kay]

Yeah, but having to go looking for it (rather than having it force fed to me on GAF) is actually more work than just reading the damn magazine at a convenience store during my lunch hour.

I know what site they all show up on though reggienotmyproblem!

 

[Borys]

Ban European scans while you're at it.

You can't disallow for US and JPN scans while allowing for German or French ones.

 

[ram]

...

The scans usually come after the news.

yeah, but most news are worthless, when you cant see pictures for it >_> and many jap. games have some real strange names too.

 

[monchi-kun]

what about posting images from the FAMITSU email newsletters?

 

[Ferrio]

Well crap, I guess they thought we were hurting their sales. I guess I'll have to buy the famitsu from my local store from now on.... wait...

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Might as well, I would be really surprised if there were more Japanese gaffers than European ones.

 

[NotWii]

Lets ban Famitsu from Japan!

 

[thetrin]

Well, we'll always have linking to Famitsu's site.

 

[PolyGone]

too bad so sad,
Neogaf makes me mad
no more scans,
no more heroes
promo pictures were so fun,
Jesus & Buddha rolled into one
J-GAF J-RPG,
oh dear lord woe is me

 

[Visualante]

Print is pretty much dying. Edge has been wandering around 30,000 subscriptions in the UK. I support print based until the next price hike.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

so what do we have left?

we still have NPD data we got lucky on that

we still have Media Create Charts

we still have "Vinnk's Village" Anecdotal Report

we still have VGCATS

we still have PA

we still have 1UP Podcasts

we still have IGN's uh

GAF IS STILL KING!

Damn, so obvious!

Are you

?

We need a bunch of vicious nekos in here, pronto!

 

[KittenMaster]

I thought sp0rsk was eaten alive by Smash Bros. Brawl.

 

[cvxfreak]

I hope there's a HUGE media blow out on tons of games in tomorrow's Famitsu. :lol

Yeah, and then those of us who have access to the magazine early can go and laugh at the rest of GAF

Spoiler

and make shit up along the way

.

 

[Corwood Rep]

That was pretty stupid, not allowing US stuff but allowing Japanese stuff. I mean, the logic doesn't even work unless you assume there are no Japanese people here, which is asinine.

I mean, sure, as a Ron Paul Supporter, freedom and liberty is my bread and butter, but this makes sense. Plus, I mean, that French website still exists for those people who really care, of which I doubt there are many.

I like this line of thought!

Yeah, it always seemed really fucking stupid to allow scans from one region but not another.

All or nothing makes more sense.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

First Phil H. ... then Stage6... now Japan scans

Decline of internet :/

 

[flipping_heck]

What a bummer. NOT A GEM!

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

Noooooooooooooooooooo
