Someone on Tumblr made a post about the VGHF's study on games that are no longer available and one of the reblogs added a link to Vimm's Lair and I was not having it
I left a reblog of my own that explains how that asshole did so much damage to game preservation by the sheer fact of him inserting his fucking site name and url to every game he had up for download
These kids have no idea of the shit that actual game preservation groups of the early 2000s had to deal with. Vimm was singlehandedly responsible for most of the bad dumps available during that era of the internet, just because of his pathological need to advertise his crappy romsite by hacking it into the game files themselves.
I rarely leave angry reblogs but this one, just, ugh. I didn't see people I respect spend so much time and money on these projects just so some kids can go "oh this guy is cool too" No, fuck off, Vimm is a leech, he's always been a leech, and stop linking to his site
Argh
