There are those that will crap on it for being text-based even though the description clearly states this, simply because they are impulsive buyers. But all of a sudden you have a bunch of new customers who are - of course - entitled to a whole bunch of stuff nowadays, will crap on you for not fixing their issues immediately even if they just paid 5$ on it during sales, etc. And you know as well as I what the positives and negatives are: a broader audience but much lower profit margins (the Steam cut). If I were an indy dev, I'd stray far away from the intoxicated mess the gaming community has become. I'm not dissing you for complaining about it, but it's always something. I think they are fine to keep connecting with a niche audience and profit from the direct cash flow. But it will never reach that level with sales strategy like this. With the popularity of MMA, there's no reason WMMA shouldn't be on the way to becoming another Football Manager/OOTP Baseball-like success story. It's just vexing when you see a potentially great game or franchise get held back because of things like this. I don't advocate that route of course, but it's hard not to make that observation.Īnyway, I'll stop yapping about it now. I bet WMMA4 loses more potential profit to piracy than any other game we encounter on Steam. If you put those things together, this is a game whose sales must be getting absolutely wrecked by piracy. And nothing personal, but from my long experience with GDS the dev, his site mods, and website community don't come across as particularly likeable or noob-friendly. Everyone, including casual players, are familiar with it because older versions are available on Steam.Ĥ. It uses an unpopular copy protection scheme.ģ. Adam Ryland is an excellent game developer.īut WMMA4 has a really bad combination of traits that are unrelated to the game itself:Ģ. I even owned WMMA4, and like many people ended up here because I lost my info. I've given GDS a few hundred dollars over the past decade.
