[11:59] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> heya, just trying to get backyard baseball 97' to work but it says i have to add ''bbscummvm'' inside the file i downloaded, but i dont know what it means. There is no other BBscummVM file in here, just the main executor?
[11:59] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/1248607175253692538/image.png?ex=6664478c&is=6662f60c&hm=d5e8950389d662f4a4ba3f2130eacb6862bfb1db0cd5d4e70f21c2a934f99d30&
[11:59] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> im confused.
[12:01] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> i also tried to add the backyard baseball file to the executor, but nothing happens.
[12:02] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> @rez0rzz unfortunately, or fortunately, you were accepting rules of this server
[12:02] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> pirated software is not supported here
[12:02] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> wait this is pirated?
[12:03] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> you are showing me screenshot of a clearly illegal download
[12:03] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> https://oldgamesdownload.com/backyard-baseball-1997/
[12:03] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> so the entire site is just pirated content?
[12:03] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> you get a warning. last one
[12:03] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> no doubt
[12:03] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> do you pay money for downloading it?
[12:03] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> the the IP right owners?
[12:04] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> the game was never declared freeware
[12:04] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> fair, forgot to even realize that
[12:04] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> and as such, you do not really know what is inside
[12:04] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> every single website ive seen selling it has been free
[12:04] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> was it compromised, did someone added a bitcoin miner
[12:04] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> or a keylogger
[12:04] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> the proper website for this game, is eBay at the moment
[12:05] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> unfortunately, the game has not been put on a digital sale
[12:05] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> alright, thanks for helping me not get a virus
[12:05] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> there are actually a few on ebay
[12:05] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/1248608890287947867/image.png?ex=66644925&is=6662f7a5&hm=713a28d5d065e0855e436196fd255f4015a718d430e26cda8715c63bc167fbe0&
[12:06] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> yes, and they are not going expensive
[12:06] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> the game was quite widespread
[12:06] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> just saw it on YT a few days ago
[12:06] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> Oof, paying the game's price in shipping
[12:07] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> i forgor i lived in denmark
[12:07] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> Probably a few in EU regions as well
[12:08] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> not really, it is just an overseas lot
[12:09] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> a bunch of the backyard baseball reddit is just people who pirated it
[12:09] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> I am not surprised
[12:09] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> meh, i can live without the game
[12:10] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> get a condolences prize: <https://scummvm.org/games/> 11 games that we managed to freeware
[12:10] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> ah, 10. One of them was freeware from the beginning, being a fanmade. Broken Sword 2.5
[12:11] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> and in general, here is a list that we try to keep up-to-date: <https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Where_to_get_the_games>
[12:11] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> with links to shops and whatnot
[12:12] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> Do have to wonder who owns the rights to the Backyard series (excluding the licensed games)
[12:12] <grogbot> [discord] <purplemoustache> And a couple hundred or so freeware interactive fiction games here: http://www.ifarchive.org
[12:13] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> Would love to personally find out but since it went into the Infogrames/Atari mess, I wish anyone the best of luck
[12:13] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> humongous entertainment i think
[12:13] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> they still make games today
[12:13] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> also they made pajama sam i think
[12:13] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> no
[12:13] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> the original HE intellectual propery was split into three
[12:14] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> i just searched, it got sold to the evergreen group in 2013 by atari
[12:15] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> * Tommo Interactive, owns rights for all their adventures
[12:15] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> * Rebellion is owning Moonbase Commander
[12:15] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> * Evergreen Group owns Backyard Sports
[12:15] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> the latter were not doing with it anything. Sad story

[12:15] #scummvm: mode change '+o ccawley2011' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.libera.chat
[12:15] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> i just checked the evergreen group
[12:15] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> i am pretty sure this has nothing to do with games at all
[12:16] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> this looks more like a hospital site
[12:16] <grogbot> [discord] <purplemoustache> The modern ports of Pajama Sam etc are just done by the current owners of the IP, and use ScummVM
[12:16] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> their old webiste I used in 2016 is gone.
[12:16] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> But originally yes, they were just some kind of investment corp
[12:16] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> not gamers at all
[12:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> Some of the ports.
[12:17] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> .. so they just bought a bunch of old games witht the intention of not doing anything with them?
[12:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> Switch/iPhone/Android are based on the original engine
[12:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> investors
[12:17] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> maybe they wanted to resell it later, who knows
[12:18] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> maybe like the ''the older it is, the more its worth''
[12:19] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> this was sent january 31st 2024 though i just realized
[12:19] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/1248612206707343402/image.png?ex=66644c3c&is=6662fabc&hm=38c6663cd708e97c99562c235d409587ca986aa4f5fbbbc5019bc80208a071b1&
[12:19] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> Sad. I also see the trademarks are owned by Billion Soft (Hong Kong) Limited
[12:19] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> this is their old website: <https://web.archive.org/web/20160215082507/http://www.the-evergreen-group.com/>
[12:20] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> do not mix it with some Chinese conglomerate

[12:20] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> Heh
[12:20] <grogbot> [discord] <sev____> > The Evergreen Group was established to identify licenses, brands and companies that have the potential to become evergreen properties in family entertainment.
[12:21] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> right now is by far the best time to do it since its picking up popularity on youtube, why wont they?
[12:21] <grogbot> [discord] <rez0rzz> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581224061091446795/1248612695356215306/image.png?ex=66644cb0&is=6662fb30&hm=b343617ec157690e896a21d6da0ee4e7f6277b065be7f3c3c2c8768275acccad&
