If the key generator is worth $75 when considering the time and effort that
went into creating it, I would pay the $75 for the key generator. The way
his announcement was worded, though, was that you must buy everything for 1
flat fee, which is what is bothering some people. And, as Thomas Ward has
pointed out, the software that keys are generated for may not work on
platforms produced in the near future, so there goes your $75, because the
software you bought is no longer supported.

I said that because Brian, and others, are saying that want to be able to
only buy generators for the games they already own, and not for those they
don't care about. This means Justin would have to create generators for each
game individually that don't currently exist to accommodate these people.
Instead, Justin's selling the program which allows the generation of all
keys. A program which he already has and has been in use for years. That is
the smart, and the sane, thing to do.
In the end, you're right about the discussion being futile…people want what
they want, whether it makes any sense or is possible. And if it isn't
possible, they'll want someone to blame, whether that blame is warranted or
not.

Ok, but you just said something about him creating multiple key
generators. Now I'm confused. Either way, it's not a smart business
tactic. Will that change the way it's being handled? I don't think so.
Will it change anyone's opinion who's disagreeing? I doubt that, too.
I have a feeling we could probably all go back and forth about this
all day, but in the end, that $75 will be the end result whether we
like it or not.

Most developers have a single key generation app that handles all the
different systems and generating keys for them. If you read Justin's
post,
he says you are getting the key generator program, singular.
But I'm feeling like I'm the only person who actually read his post. LOL

Why would he have to write separate keygens for each program, though?
The classic pipe and Troopanum games used the same system. There's one
down. Pipe and Troopanum2 used another one. I'm not sure what kind of
system the word games used, having never bought them, but since they
were released around the same time as the classics, I'm going to
assume, perhaps wrongly, that they used that first system. Thus, only
two keygen programs would really need to be created.
I would gladly pay for two keygens. And, I personally think that the
games and software packages should be split up, at the very least.
Some people may not want the software, or some may not want the games.
They really are two separate entities.

So, what you're saying, is you want Justin to devote time and effort to
write brand-new, individual key generators for each and every title,
sell
them off piece meal, and charge full price for them?
Wow.
In the example…
Buying the individual films you want at full price would cost almost
twice
as much. You have some strange logic there. Most people prefer to spend
less. :)

Or you can just buy the individual films you want once and have done.
That's the whole point.
But thou must!

Several people are still saying they are being forced to repurchase
games
they already own. So, let me break this down into an example that may
help
with those missing the point.
There are 8 Harry Potter films. If we say the average price of these
eon
DVD is $20, for the sake of argument, the total cost of buying each
film
individually would be $160.
You've already bought films 1 and 2 on DVD for $40. But now, Warner
Brothers is offering a box set of all 8 films on DVD for the
unbelievable
price of $40! That's 1/4 the cost. And let's say, you didn't like
Prisoner
of Azkaban, so never really planned on buying that one.
You can buy the box set, and still come out $60 ahead, or you can be
upset
because you're being made to re-purchase
the first two movies again, plus movie 3 that you didn't like.
The math is: 8 movies for $20 each is $160
Minus movie three would be $140 total for seven films you want.
Or…
$40 for the two you already bought
plus $40 for the box set.
equals $80
$80 is $60 less than $140. Win win.
The math is almost identical in this case, except I think Justin's
deal
is
actually better than the scenario above.
To me, if you're not paying anywhere near full price for anything,
you're
effectively getting the majority of the package for free. So you are
not,
in reality, being made to buy them again.
