I realize it takes alot of effort and imagination to produce a game
like duke. But I was wondering. The cd can be produced as far as I
know fairly cheap! Charging $40.00! (in most places I've been too)
Doesn't that amke it a little more worth while to bootleg or pirate?
Thats say 1 in 10 can afford to buy it. And thats assume the other 9
steel it. I was thinking if it costs say $10.00. Wouldn't that price
make it less profitable to bootleg? And give more people the chance to
buy it. Say even 6 of 10 that would generate more cash than yhe 1 in
10 wouldn't it? And I don't think we need to here "get a job" or
something like that.  $40.00 is alot of money and duke is to good of a
game to just go without it, because really most people need that
$40.00 for food or rent! I'm not looking for the typical wisecracks.
It was just a thought!
