Why does'nt software companies understand the most basic rules of the market !
Microsoft understood it - and got to be the worlds biggest !
Sony understood it - and overtook Nintendo in just a few years !
The most effektive and best- and cheapest marketing you can get - is to have young enthuastic fan's spread your product worldwide !
Of course your company have to make money, by selling some org games, but the marketing value of 'the underground' maked - is what is going to make you big - if your product is goog enough !
---------------------------------------------
By using a lot of energy trying to keep 'copiers out' instead of using the to improve the product, Giant Transport developer's actually go against their own best interrest.
If there is no NoCd availeable/ and the possibillity to use virtual Cd's tools is blocked - no serious NetCafe - anywhere will want to bye the game to run in their Cafe. A major free High and Mighty Marketsign - blown away.
And no serious gamer will use the game for very long, if he cant find either a working nocd or set the game up virtual cd' running.
So in fact what this company doing everything they can to limit their own succes. If they dont change this strategy - they wont be here for long - no matter how hard they work to make good products.
That is just the basic facts of the softwarebuisness !
