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! On Wed, 20 Aug 1997 14:12:13 GMT, FUCK@YOU.ASSHOLES (PISSED OFF) wrote: >STOP ALL THIS SPAMMING NOW.
