neowin_hipster Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 I do buy games, not many of them, but I do buy my own games. What are your reasons. I know that many of them are expensive and its easier just to download. Any other reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h71y6 Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 If they are excellent games, such as Jedi II, OFP, Colin McRae, Baldur's Gate, i buy them. But it's usually try them first before buying thing. I have no problems purchasing a game even after i have the full *demo*. If it's good, i would be more than happy to reward the developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 The game has to be really exceptional for me to want to buy it..... otherwise its the old try before you buy thing so i....err, nevermind...:cheeky: OpFlashpoint and Baldurs Gate 2 were the last games i bought.

Jessterw Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I am a guilty participant in "trying" before buying. I will, like the majority here so far, buy a game if I decide to keep it. I don't buy many games so it's not really a problem. In fact the last game I bought was Unreal Tournament and I only play it now with the Tactical Ops mod running (so I don't really play UT then do I :D ).

sanctified Veteran Posted April 11, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 11, 2002 I buy some of them (The ones that really deserve it) And I "borrow" the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMan Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I buy pretty much all the games on my PC, not because I'm a super-moral person or anything, it's just because I can't stand the time I'd need to wait to "borrow" it. Last game I bought was Deus Ex: Game of the year edition, two weeks ago. Man, that game absolutely rocks. The last game I "borrowed" was Unreal Tournament, aaaaaages ago. Still got the copy, though.

PKHelloNasty Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 If it's good, i would be more than happy to reward the developers I think thats the funniest line on this thread. You feel when you buy a game and pay the people that made it a reward to them. Its buying thr game and paying for someones hard work. I hope they dont make games just for rewards. How will they feed there kids and teach them to be game developers too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will they feed there kids and teach them to be game developers too :) paying for a sh!tty game. is wrong. if the developers want money they need to make good games! "trying" before buying is the only proper way. I hope they do make games just for my monotery rewards. to work hard on a game and receiving pay for good work is a reward. money for another cheap knock-off should be punished.

devobitch Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 i bought every game on my pc i am wait for doom 3, unreal 2 ,dukenukem i dont think its ok to steal games if you play it you should buy it just because it is easy to steal does not make it ok you dont steal gas or food or clothes why games? i think of it this way if i wrote the game i would want to get paid. wouldnt you?
