I don't know why they up and left the planet, they were good before for
a couple years suddenly they dropped out.

Hi,
We had a lot of developers seemingly take spaceships to Mars lately. My
frustration is currently with VIPGamesZone, since I bought every one of their
PC games and now I can’t play any of them. They don’t respond to emails, and
since they stopped selling the games they just seem to have reverted back to
demo mode...Now their website isn’t even online. That’s not to mention the
stringent DRM protection they implemented that forced you to unregister
machines before registering others, and god help you if you couldn’t do that.
If your machine crashed, you were pretty much stuck to the flypaper since they
refused to reset your reg count. I mean, I do kinda get why, since you can’t
really prove your machine has crashed...But hell. Even devs like BSC and GMA
had key counter timeouts.
Don’t get me wrong. Having developed software myself and pretty much had people
unknowingly admit to me that they had obtained decrypted copies of my sounds
and cracks etc, boy do I understand the need for copy protection. But there’s
copy protection and then there’s just inconvenience that later has the
potential to turn nasty. Let’s face it, the VGZ collection must have easily
reached $100.
I hate to come across as a complainer. Generally, that’s not me at all. But
where money’s involved, naturally I’m very sensitive. I don’t expect things for
free. But I certainly expect to be able to get what I pay for. I know software
is somewhat different to this, but I feel like I’ve just paid for a house, had
it snatched from me by the owner because they changed their mind, and not been
given my money back.
Cheers.
Damien.

Hi, Sean I do agree with you on this matter also developers you shouldn't be
selfish with your products either, you should be fair with your customers and
also communicate with your customers as well, as Sean said most of our
experienced developers are gone now, or got other thins that came up inlife it
is your duity as a new developer to make sure your customers are happy and that
your product is doing the job that you inteneded it to do.
