One "Worlds Worst" Apoligizes
This is an update of the first edition of Worlds Worst in Videogames (October 10th post).
A story has popped up on Gamespot (here: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6135944.html ) that the DS trojan writer has officially said, "Sorry."
His explaination for the trojan: it was to punish those who download illegal ROMs. But after all the hoopla and actual damage done, he decided to come clean about his deeds.
With this, I will take this guy off of the Worlds Worst in Videogames list (I'm still keeping those who wrote the PSP viruses on), but I'm still puting him on a watch list.
What he did was to be a vigilante, and not of the good kind. Don't punish people yourself. If someone's downloading illegal content, then inform the actual owner of the copyright. They are the ones who should decide whether to punish people or not.
I hope that he doesn't do anything like this again. His apologies may have taken him of my Worlds Worst list, but I still don't think highly of him.
