And you can make a bundle with paid for DLC etc…

the current model is retarded, and needs to be reworked.

Theoretically it sounds great, now get a bank to give your R70 million to develop a AAA game that you are going to give away

It is called a alternative distro model.

If I made games it would work like this:

Free to DL, Please torrent (saves on hosting cost)

SP is free, MP you buy a code from me to play online.

Simple as that.

Now where is that Bobby chap? I need to have a word with him.

That I think was World of Goo and the sale was pretty sad if you looked at the real stats. Most people paid less than $5 which was BS and a whole lot of them paid $1.

A few exceptionally loyal people paid 2 or more times the standard retail price that made it look okay
