Incorrect sir. The whole point of wanting to save this machine, and emulate the code is so that it will 100% be made public. As the article states, this will happen when the time is right.

Like the first guy?

What you have to know about gaming collectors is they are all insane. Some more than others. In this story you have at least 3 people with some problems. Greed, allure of exclusivity, compulsive hoarding, scamming, predatory speculation, its all there.

I feel that often people start projects like this with the best of intentions, life gets in the way, and then the "time" is never "right". It would be better to share incomplete things early to reduce this risk.

But what is the downside to sharing the code in an incomplete state, in case the folks working on emulation cease their work? The world is full of projects that never get "finished."

That's an honest question, not a rhetorical one.

I would think because this whole thing occurred literally weeks ago.
