Homesoft is just one person who is more comfortable being called that way than by his real name. He not only "creates and archives compilation disks" but converts titles from other systems (Atari 5200 games, Boulder Dash caves from the Commodore 64, The Saga of Erik the Viking from the Amstrad CPC...) so we're perfectly fine calling him a programmer. Whether everything is legit or not is irrelevant, not only given the nature of some programs but also because Homesoft never pirates anything that shouldn't be distributed (if that's what you're alluding to). Finally, it has always been clear that we use the term "publisher" in a very broad and loose sense, this is something that hasn't changed since the inception of the site in 2003 and is even written in the 8-bit section intro blurb. |
