    In other areas, if the product isn't great somebody else makes a clone and is allowed to sell it legally (i.e. clothes, shoes, etc........), but in computing: The publisher is allowed to rip the customer off

    Doesn't sound logical............

    And I didn't want to make a justifcation for it, just an explanation.

    I think in certain areas, if prices like this would be charged for a product which is rubbish, they would be sued for harrasment...........
    hi ,

    as long as no one breaks your arm to buy it , who forces you to buy it , ...... if one does not like a product , no one forces one to buy it , ......

    if the publisher makes a low quality type of program , you can bet that the whole world shall know about it fast , therefore less people shall buy it and the publisher is then faced with the facts , ......

    then he can either rework the program , make a patch , or withdraw it , etc , .......

    have a nice day

      But all what you hear from those guys:

      The bloody pirating guys are breaking our sales. If there weren't so many people copying, we would sell better.

      But as you already said:
      then he can either rework the program , make a patch , or withdraw it , etc , .......
      The only problem is, they always blame it on others............

      And as big MC said:

      It is cheaper to buy a film than a game.......that doesn't sound right.

      But coming back to the point about selling:

      In the old days, companies brought out demos, to try. Nowadays they still bring out demos, but most of the time they are twice better than the later game............

      (just needed to be said.....grrrrrrrrrrr)

        Gilg, demos better that the full games? My experience is usually with the demos being limited to so few feautures that I can't even decide whether the game is worth playing, from the demo...

          hi ,

          , line of sight , Vietnam is something else , this demo has a complete mission ( number three ) of the game , ......

          there are several good demo's out there , but most of them are a far cry indeed from what the real game can do , .....

          have a nice day

            I remember I downloaded couple of demos (ok a 2-3 years ago), which I started to play. Graphics were great, gameplay was great, but then the game itself was only half as good. As I read afterwards, they spend roughly the same time on the Demo as on the game........

            Nowadays I just wait till the prise drops to like 5-10€ and having read about it in forums and similar. Far cheaper and easier and less hart attacks. It also fits better for my old ancient PC

              I think tomb rider 3 and four demos were allegedly based on levels when you played the full game you found out the had add about 60% to the level and played about with the other 40%

                      i guess we could make a new binary with the fixes made until now for playtesting.

                        That's the only way to do it imho, you can get 5 games for the price of one new release, if you just have a little patience. Of course sometimes exceptions have to be made...

                            Always those Americans. They always think they know better

                            They never know the difference between Celsius and Kelvin........but they still try to tell us how to count...............

                            Our neighbours know at least how to count and spell properly

                            (kust me playing the role of an arrogant Europeans

                            But by the way you know the difference Celsuis/Kelvin ?)

                            But back a bit onto the topic:

                            Most of the time I still just by the game I want (although it might be fairly old then.........)

                              There are about 273.15 differences

                                Good boy, bood boy

                                It's just, a lot of people I know in the US, they know Kelvin, but didn't know how to convert to Celsius, made me mad
