Because I had played (and pirated)Goo before, I knew what sort of excellent game it was and realized that the others bundled with it (penumbra as example) would probably also be very good. there's no fun in it if money is the only thing you're after. I make games for people to experience, and though I also want to make money.

I would rather they play it for free than never at all. I realize there are some who would never buy a game I make, but given the option to pirate they might check it out. It just gets more exposure to an otherwise unknown indie game. If it's not costing the developers anything (as in bandwidth or support costs), it's not harmful.

Sorry for the rant, hope it is semi-readable. but with this promotion I was able to still contribute a little to the developers so they can keep on innovating and making new games.

I think I just played the demo and thought it was too repetitive / boring to buy the full version. I don't remember if I ever pirated World of Goo.

I got the first one for free from one way or another (public library, download, whatever), but paid for the future one because I loved the series and wanted to contribute.

I know there have been books that have been like this. This is especially true with a pay what you want system because anyone who is willing to donate to help support the developers is going to be more likely to actually feel some ownership of future works and buy them outright rather than pirate them. This kind approach to piracy and your customer base as well as providing more exposure to your game also can create future customers. It's not forcing anyone to, but it lets people feel good and feel like they are contributing to future works rather than the standard model of paying for the experience and often being let down or feeling the price was not worth the experience. I think this type of thing is great because it does offer a way to give back to developers when you have pirated the game.

I don't think you should feel guilty, but I have a strange perspective on piracy for someone in the games industry. I hope they make a tonne of money from this. So far I'm really really enjoying Punumbra which seems to be like Myst + Lovecraft, an amazing combination.

I wasn't guilt-induced into buying, I just thought it was an excellent deal and a very fair way to do things. I should, right? Playing the games and then they come out with a pay-what-you-want deal. I gave my 'donation' to the developers, as I figured I owed them more. If they hadn't done this bundle thing, I still would have played the games but I would not have paid them.

QUOTE (NeonSpyder May 5 2010, 06:52 PM) I confess to pirating world of goo and gish, (goo being the better of the two) but this bundle gave me an opportunity to repay them for the enjoyment I had, plus experience some new games such as Penumbra, of which I had only played the demo previously.
