Hello folks,
The thing I don’t understand is why they don’t just simply sell the keys for the product only? This is not a potatoes distribution problem, its software, codes, bytes, data.
- Distribution question. No piracy incitative intended -
Why go thru a publisher to sell the game when all we really need is a key to play online because you very well know how it goes. 24 hours after the release, the game will be available via bittorrent, and though it is illegal, it kinda solve the distribution problem doesn't it. Then folks could send money to the makers and receive their key. Much less complicated and everybody is happy. The devs make money, the fans can play and support the makers, and the publisher well… The publisher can burn.
For the publicity usually generated by the publisher, I think the community is doing just a fine job so far.
We can make our own copies yet, we want to support the devs with 1) Money. 2) Feedback and also 3) Play their game, so that they can make more, better and bigger games for us, but how can we do that if the product is not available? There must be a better way to do things
In this day n age not having a distributor is a good thing…Unless you’re selling potatoes.
