Konami too lazy to protect its own IP.
They have been notified and aware of this crap for months now about Tobias Fudoh Reich bootlegging their IP and selling it at high mark up, and they seemed to have done nothing at all about it. His newest release, Dracula X.

I've been out of the Duo/PCE CD stuff for a decade, I take it this clown Tobias takes games and re-releases them for too much money without the IP holders permission just to rip off fools and mess with the original stock of the game? Konami is even more pathetic than I figured if this is the case and aren't stopping this toad.
Yeah that is pretty much what is going on right now.
Some of you guys... really?
Who's the real rip-off con-jobber?
The eBay seller who flips Dracula X for $200 OMG RARE!!?
Or the hobbyist who takes the time and skills to design and produce all new packaging for a limited run of a never released (domestically) game, and sells to a well informed niche group of people?
The only clown here is the armchair warrior trying to ruin this for those of us who want translated beautifully packaged versions of unreleased games.
If he only sold fan translations of games it wouldn't be as much of a problem, but he's also making straight bootlegs. This is the same person who sold Sapphire bootlegs which looked identical to the real version.
And how is that a problem?Originally Posted by Gameguy
Who is losing out here?
I don't get why anybody would cry about it either. Stuff looks pretty slick, I've seen some respectable youtubers take a look at these pceworks things. Only the rich elitist game collector would care because now other people can play the games on real hardware too. It doesn't make them feel as exclusive or special anymore.
Eh I got a problem with both. He's stealing and putting it in a nice wrapper for a lot of money, and then you have the other scalpers who just collectively work to keep prices high baiting fools who are impatient and don't care about the value of a dollar. I'm not taking sides.
At first I thought it said Tobias Fünke.
