Have you ever backed up a project, that died halfway up?
Is it not frustrating for the customer, when he gets ripped?
Where is the protection for the ppl, those are supporting cool ideas there?
No protection on both sides, fair hum not.
Sometimes you could laugh hard, which projects try to launch greenlight, or KS.
There are even pure tutorials, sold as game.
So many bad games around, but they understand the marketing process and tell you that its the game of your dream, but in the end it is a bad clone from mixed games, with better gfx (for which you need new hardware).
When ppl in India have in general not so much money like ppl in US, i think they would pay only once for a bad game and pirate.
I bought many games for my kids, but there are so many bad/dumb games around, that you have to look exactly what you buy, before you do it.
Oh and sometimes it helps nothing when you tell your Kid, that this is a bad game, not worth anything…
For the general happyness you have to buy it and i feeled raped, through advertising(more once).
When you can buy pirated software around each corner, and you can get 20 games for the price of one, or share them while the pause in the school, why you should pay some bucks?
Ah and you have not to travel to india, to do that.
When you cross the Border, from germany to Czechia, you can buy, whatever you want, drugs / weapons and even games…
Some time ago was the NDS here very popular and while i had 10 kids over a birthdayparty night, they brought in their NDS.
It was very funny to see all these “zero” cards(to play copies/pirated) plugged into and they could not connect to the players with original games.
There where much more kids with cards, originals.
Quick you get into a bad explaing mood, when you hear"It is silly to use original games, you could not connect with your buddies"…
Thats the same and it is everywhere, not only in india.
Yes ryan, perhaps we define “good” only in another way.
Take the glory Jim, for example.
Look at his patreon site. Two weeks ago it showed, that he gets 12.000 Bucks from Patreon, but only supporting three other Patreons.
That is aside advertising income (youtoube) and other stuff.
Thats not “good” enough to me, to let this i think a bit “greedy”,person teach my kids some lessions, about honor or similar stuff.
When i look closely at his style, the choice of colors and behavior, i would say a clear no.
That is not all bad stuff i could tell about him, but i am always friendly and helpful, and with my limited rusty english it is hard to describe what i mean.
