masamonkey 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 I hear about people selling their games a lot more than I hear about people making them freely available with the option of donations. A lot of webcomics and flash sites can make a lot of money this way, but do you think donations are a viable option for the RM game market? Please go into a little detail in replies. Do you consider them not high quality enough to pay anything for? Do you have any problems with paying for something you can get for free? Is there anything people do to ask for donations that really bugs you? I read in this month's GI about this company talking about the way big game publishers usually go about things and how they're thinking of trusting people a little more. The guy they were talking with said he actually contacted torrent sites and asked them to remove their games and the torrent people didn't mind; for most sites, that was the first time they'd been contacted with anything but legal threats. This company...I don't remember the names at all, hehe...any rate, they weren't going with any pain in the ass copy protection either because anything will get cracked anyway, so may as well save money and not make it harder on people actually buying the product. ...wow, I really went O/T in my own topic here... I dunno, anything offered on the internet tends to go a little further when it's offered for free or relies on the honour system. Usually the moment someone decides to put in copy protection on something or decides on a price, it's cracked on a warez site or at the least has a legion of people moaning about it. I just thought it might be interesting to see the opinions in this community or hear if anyone knows of any games that went the donation route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
