I'd personally rather pay the $30 for a product I get to actually try before I buy. I know that the game I've tried from you in the past have been good, but generally speaking I am a littlee weary of a game which does not offer a demo. I've had similar experiences on my iPhone to Sarah in purchasing apps that, although they are cheep, add up over time.

While there's been a bit of traffic on this list about this topic, it has come from only two or three users who feel pretty strongly about the topic. It reminds me a lot of 2007, when we announced that we would no longer be offering CD copies for purchases of our titles. We got a lot of email from a small group of people saying that we would lose all kinds of sales for this, that, or the other reason, if we didn't keep shipping out discs. In reality, it made absolutely no measurable difference to anyone, and was a knee jerk reaction to change. For nearly a decade and a half, there hasn't been anything significantly disruptive about the way in which audio games are offered. Generally speaking, and yes of course there are exceptions, developers have offered a demo that could be played and then unlocked for around $30-$40. We are experimenting with a different model now, and there is bound to be those who are uncomfortable with change. I'm not saying this is the case, necessarily, but just as an interesting hypothetical.if the choice, to all of you, the gamers, was between having great games that cost $5-$15 without a demo, or games with demos that cost $30-$40, which would you prefer? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
