schestowitz"Of course ideally having fully open games (including art) is good, but it's hard to imagine how their efforts can be monetized"May 19 14:26
schestowitzIncreasingly the subscription model of MMORGP is used. File-sharing appears to have undermined the profit of big budget PC games, except for those in the MMORPG category, which remains wildly profitable.May 19 14:26
schestowitzFor a large community of players, the ability to modify and improve the game world adds value to the product, and revenue isn't threatened as connecting to official servers requires subscription.May 19 14:26
schestowitzI'd like to see competition for the game servers though - it would be good for the consumer to be able to choose between many different independent World of Warcraft servers, for instance.May 19 14:26
schestowitzOther business models are also possible though; porting a community built game to a console for example, or packaging it for different platforms could be a lucrative service.May 19 14:26

schestowitzNot all games are MMORPG. Classic single player games, including RPG can be successful as well. But it's not so clear how can they get profit if it's fully open. File sharing (i.e. illegal downloads) doesn't undermine profits of good developers who produce quality game and release them without DRM. Such services as GOG make purchasing easy, and decent people are only willing to support developers of the games they like.May 19 14:26

schestowitzInteresting some free MMORPGs like PlaneShift don't charge for subscription, but their art is closed, to prevent exact replicas (while their code is open). Their development is quite slow, since it's a pure volunteering work. So monetizing a game is really difficult. Subscription fee is a bad idea in general IMO.May 19 14:26

schestowitz"May 19 14:26
schestowitz@Shmerl: I think subscription model is best, whether its subscription donation / support, or subscription for a service. Either way, user's aren't paying for actual files, which is what prompts DRM and filesharing.May 19 14:26

schestowitzI'm talking about mainstream, generally big budget games. We don't know whether your statement is true or not because its never been attempted to the best of my knowledge.

schestowitz"Take for example real hits like Witcher 1 & 2 from CD projekt Red. They aren't MMORPG - just single player RPG. And they charge just once for buying the game. They are both major success, and they aren't scared to release them without DRM, because they respect their users and customers. Mutual respect helps their profits, since people are willing to support them with buying, instead of "pirating" their stuff. It doesn't mean there is May 19 14:27

schestowitzThe whole DRM in games debate often misses the point that DRM is the wrong approach to 'protecting' so-called 'rights'. The real question is, is the proprietary nature necessary for 'protection'? And regardless of business models, which don't make bad ethics "acceptable", would good games be created at all without 'protections'? Of course! By reuse.May 19 14:29

schestowitzFree Software apps may be doubling annually, but they are still dwarfed by proprietary apps, and presumably the number of apps as a whole are growing at a similar rate.

DaemonFCa lot of the "consumer electronics superstores" that went under or were marginalized years before Best Buy started going under used rebates as a way to make it look like they had good pricesMay 19 17:20
DaemonFCthen it was typically a nightmare to claim themMay 19 17:21
DaemonFCI remember the terms of one of them stating that to get a rebate on a computer, you had to send in the original sales receipt, the cover of the user's manual, a photocopy of your drivers license, the envelope had to be like a #5 iircMay 19 17:22
DaemonFCI can imagine some bean counter sitting around rejecting rebates because the person used the wrong sized envelopeMay 19 17:22
DaemonFCand after you go through all that, you wait 6-8 weeks to get that money backMay 19 17:22
DaemonFCand in the mean time, here's Walmart sitting next door to them with basically the same computer which was cheaper than the one from CompUSA even with the rebate (if you got the rebate) :)May 19 17:23

schestowitz"Of course, Android isn't technically the property of Google — it was created and developed by the Open Handset Alliance, of which Google is a member.
