I think he done that because Datel (the manufacturers of Freeloader and Action Replay) have spent lots of money developing their GameCube products, only for Nintendo to turn round and say to them that their not going to master the disc, and at present, Datel can find no other way to put it onto a GameCube game disc.
They (Freeloader and AR) were originally scheduled for a June release, but keep getting delayed (the latest date is now December), and reports are suggesting they could be delayed indefinately.
Bad new for GC owners
