this is actually one of the possible solutions to combat piracy.

the people who want the game fund the game, and when it's done it's released free for everyone to share.

everyone will be happy, except the people who hate sharing their stuff with others.

my other solution would be to produce a game and make only one copy that will cost from $ 200.000 to 40 million according to it's budget, and once bill gates or someone else has bought it, the game is free to share.

on topic: i'm going to donate


Except for the fact that Double Fine also needs to make money, not just get enough to be able to get out the game. Or do you think the people work for free?

how would they work for free? what do you think the $ 400.000 are for? people who work on the game get paid for working on the game with that money. hell they even get the money up front. why would they need more money after they don't work on the game any more?

that of course is assuming the 400.000 are calculated in the way that everything and everyone neccesary for the game is being paid for.

 



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
