Need for Speed: ProStreet Message Board  

It doesn't seem fair to ask gamers to pay for a certain membership in order to download a trainer. I'll probably be banned for saying this,but CH came under fire on another site for such activity. I'm not saying I agree with the other cite. It would depend on why we must pay for membership in order to download a trainer. Care to explain this,Mr. Wizard? Myself,I've never paid for trainers or paid for a membership to download one,and I have some excellent trainers,and all were free. But if we're paying for the time and expense that went into making a certain trainer,then I find that to be fair and acceptable. Frankly I was shocked by what was said about CH on the other site. Ch has always been the first site I went to when I needed trainers and cheats. I can almost always find what I need here,and even if I'm banned for speaking out,I'll still come here for my game needs. Furthermore,the other sites attack on CH was very unprofessional and uncalled for. There's no reason for one game site to attack another. If a site is doing something crooked there's professionals on the net to handle it appropropriately.

There's nothing 'crooked' about what we do here. We create quality content and offer professional services and for that we ask a small membership fee. There are three of us that work FULL TIME, around the clock on different sides of the world to keep the site going and the content updated. This is our job. This is not a small hobby site where we do things when we feel like it or if we feel like it. A new game comes out, we typcially have a trainer for it within a day or two. A new patch comes out, we have a new trainer out many times on the same day, even before 'cracks' or no-cd fixes are available. That's because we buy all of the games we train (which costs money) and sometimes we have to buy multiple copies when the trainers don't work with Steam/D2D/etc versions. We work very hard to ensure the highest quality in our work and we offer help to anyone that has problems. When was the last time someone from an anonymous 'warez' group offered you help with your free trainer that you downloaded off some torrent site? or actually took the time to fix an option that didn't work correctly for some people? I'm not knocking these groups at all. There are many talented people out there releasing quality content and we have great respect for them. However, it can sometimes be inconsistent and you may or may not get any updates for any of the trainers that are released. That's because they're doing it on their own free time, when and if they have any. We offer timely content, consistent quality and deliver what people expect and ask for. It's our JOB and we love it.

We also do our best to make sure that everyone has something to use and enjoy from our membership. We've created close to 100 trainers just in the past two months. No other group or individual has come close for the same timeframe, free or otherwise. In fact, if we hadn't created and released a trainer for some of these games, there wouldn't be ANY trainers. We don't target just the hugely popular games either, we also cover many of the smaller, budget titles that others ignore but that we know some of our members are playing.

If you can't afford a membership or simply don't feel that our efforts are worth your money, then simply wait for the public release date of the trainers and download them for free. Again, that's us trying to make sure everyone benefits from what we offer here. Yes, there are some trainers that do not get released to the public, but those are the value added benefits of supporting our site and becoming a member.

The bottom line is that we work hard and we take pride in what we do. If you don't think it's fair that we should be paid a small amount for all of the time, energy and money that we put into creating the content and maintaining the site, then that is of course, your perogative, but please don't disrespect us by saying that what we're doing is 'crooked'.

I wasn't accusing you of crooked deals. It was the other site that made that accusation. Thanks Mr Wizard for explaining it all. Everything you said is just what I expected. Much respect to you and many praises for a highly professional site that rarely fails to meet the needs of gamers. It is for theses reasons I continue to return here time and time again,and its the attentiveness and helpfulness of the mods that inspired me to become a member here. I rarely join game sites. Thanks Mr Wizard,for such a splendid game site.
