That doesn't say much. Do you think many people are that interested in indie games that might never be released to post on official forum?

mondblut said:What's "sell"?
villain of the story said:We don't know if AoD is good since it's not out. At the very least, camera in the combat demo is shit, otherwise it looks like it will be good but "pirate first - buy later" is a 100% viable strategy as with any other title.
Releasing SOMETHING isn't the point of the fucking exercise, is it?Norfleet said:Few to none. I find it very difficult to imagine how an nonexistent product can be sold. At this point this AoD thing is a bigger joke than Duike Nukem Forever. At least I hear they FINALLY managed to put SOMETHING out.
Avadon was shit thoughHumanity has risen! said:GarfunkeL said:I think VD mentioned once that when they get close to release, they will get in touch with Valve.
Even then it's not a guarantee of acceptance, Steam turns down/ignores indie developers all the time.
They did it to Jeff Vogel with Avadon.
Sub said:Azrael the cat said:villain of the story said:About a quarter of the Codex population consists of alts or one-time long forgotten accounts. About 1/3 consists of people who don't even play games, any games.
I know I've already raged about that in several threads, and called for their banning on one occasion (when DU said that the size of the forums was risking the Codex's viability), but every time I'm reminded of that fact it freaks me out all over again.
What kind of person is so socially malodorous that they have to turn to a random computer game forum for interaction, when they have absolutely no interest in computer games - like every other forum that's dedicated to general interaction has either banned them, laughed at them or otherwise had enough of their shit, and they end up at the Codex because there's nowhere else left.
Especially that fucking Sub poster that started here a few months back. No interest in computer games at all, let alone rpgs - to the point that when asked by Andhaira she reacted with a 'lol no I don't play games', as though computer games are too nerdy and hence below her, when she's the one frequenting a computer game forum constantly throwing out sexual innuendos and reminding people that she's female so that she gets some desperation-addled nerdboy attention. How hideous do you have to look in real life before you start turning to net forums where you have absolutely no interest in the subject matter of the forum, just so you can get SOME flirtatious attention. And even then, not much - as evidenced by the 'hey! I'm here and I'm female! I fuck skeletons!'
Too pussy to say it to my face Azrael that you have to resort to tiny text and in an area of the fora where I don't normally go? Your butthurt is rather palpable.
Instead of attempting to educate me as some people here have done about games and comics, all you have done is spew hate. I don't know which is more hateful, that I'm actually female or that I'm a non-gamer. Just because I'm not interested in a subject does not mean that I will never be. Constant exposure can spark interest. And I am interested in the opinion of the Codex regarding games. After all, you are all gentlemen who have exquisite taste, right?
I may not be interested in computer games but there are people in my life who are. Why can't I hang out somewhere I can actually read about what may be good or appropriate and get good advice? No one knows his stuff more than a fanboi does. And do you see me cluttering up the Gaming fora? I stay in GD. It's that part of the Codex that interests me. And I stay there. Isn't that the part of the forum where you can talk about anything that is NOT gaming related?
Also, calling me hideous can be interpreted as a poor attempt to get me to produce pictures to prove that I am neither tranny/male nor hideous. I'm not saying that it is, just that it can be interpreted as such. So be careful there.
Anyway, I've said my piece. Feel free to keep hating. No need to do it tiny text too.
Regdar said:This may come as a surprise, but a lot of people living in the third world don't have credit cards (or debit cards), especially students. Webmoney and PayPal accounts aren't all that common, either. Most people when they want something they can't find in the store just order it online and pay the courier at their doorstep.
On the other hand, those people don't represent a loss of revenue to the developer when they pirate, because barely any one of them would buy the game even if piracy wasn't an option. They just wouldn't go through the trouble of acquiring a debit card (which can take up to 2 weeks) for the sake of buying a game.
I'm not even talking about 50$ (and I understand that AoD will cost a lot less than that) being MORE than the minimum SALARY when converted into some currencies. Life in the FSU is a bitch.
I hate this world. One day, new gods will return it will all end. All the exploitation and senseless discrimination. One day, the world will burn. With a beautiful flame of their wrath.Konjad said:Regdar said:This may come as a surprise, but a lot of people living in the third world don't have credit cards (or debit cards), especially students.

Are you in such a place?
Obviously I was talking to the codexers who live in Europe/Americas/Australia/New Zealand and other semi-developed places, which is like 100% (at worst 99.9%) of the codex. If someone in here is from Somalia or Nigeria then feel free to pirate everything, you have my blessing, but I doubt anyone from these places would have internet connection and care about posting in such a forum.

How did you find the codex?What do you think about dildos and the chinese people? How did you find this thread?
