I remember a guy telling me, that they make more money from advertising, than subscriptions. That's the best explination that I've heard.

I'm planning to sell some of my old KQ games. Would it be okay, if I burned a disc with KQ9 files on it, and gave it away free with the KQ game?

I'm not talking about online, I'm talking about a fleamarket(best description I can think of).

QuoteAGDI's KQ2+ was distributed freely with a gaming magazine. I don't know if the magazine had AGDI's explicit permission, but I'm pretty sure they didn't have any legal problems with that

Some of them have done so, but I also recall a magazine which wanted to host our games on their CD, but was required to notify their contact at Sierra first. The idea was rejected immediately.

It's pretty hard to answer that right now because there are a lot more factors involved.  Ask again when the game is ready and we'll have a better idea.  8)

I'll have sold them by then(hopefully), but thanks for answering.

hello, i'm a newbie!  i think bittorent is a bad idea, there is a long ass wait time, and i think it should be zipped and sent over multiple servers. Goodbye.

Welcome rccola18!  ;D

Bittorrent is like any other file-sharing program out there.  The more people hosting the file, the faster it is.  Most likely it will be hosted multiple servers, but due to the huge file sizes and bandwidth required, they may not be enough.  :-\

Wow long time no post from sir dot-a-lot! lol
anyway, yea bittorrent can take a long while, but there are a lot more ways of d/ling using the bittorrent feature (i.e. Shareaza, ABC, azureus, etc.) so far from the ones i've tried in the past Shareaza works the best for me but it can time out a lot for some people... distributing using magazines sounds great, but I'm one of those people who get practically no magazines/newspapers since my parents don't want any, so hopefully most of the options shared will help distribute KQ9.

Is there any chance to us fans in Central America to get the game too? I mean you guys are talking about send, cd`s, But i supose it`s only inside the US , so waht about us?
My internet connection isn`t very fast..

Why not upgrade to broadband before the game is released? XD

Otherwise, get a download manager like GetRight and just keep pausing and resuming the download.  :)
