Wow... No disrespect but I think for me, half the fun of chiptune died when I became involved with the internet "scene". There's just too many people bitching about this and that, who got what media exposure, who said what. If you can make a profit off of what you love to do, good for you! Everyone has a right to chiptune music, we all grew up with it. Who's to say who shouldn't be making/listening to it and who should. It's not like any of you discovered chiptune I also bet that the original chiptune composers look at the flourishing popularity of the medium and smile.
Also If you're going to bitch about someones success, that's fine, you have a right to that. But it really does make you look pathetic. I've also noticed that those who worry the most about the scenes "status" seem to be pretty terrible at making chiptune. You should spend less time worrying about others and more time composing, you need the practice. If we all spent less time bitching and more time practicing, there would be less to bitch about. The quality of music would go up! Just make music!
Ok, rant over. I have to go down into my mothers basement and get some sleep now.
P.S for any of the negative, witty responses that might come up. Don't even bother. I'll be too busy making actual MUSIC, to respond.
