is giving away free games a good marketing move? peggle extreme has peggle deluxe; trackmania nations forever has trackmania united forever. peggle extreme and trackmania nations forever are free but not exactly demos; however, they're not exactly the complete versions either.

do these free games induce you to buy the more complete versions? someone mentioned that he wouldn't buy games anymore if more 'demos' were like peggle extreme, and all i know is that i haven't bought peggle deluxe or trackmania united forever, because i got all i needed to get out of both those games without having to buy peggle deluxe and trackmania united forever.

so, is giving away free games a good marketing move? do they persuade you to buy the more complete versions?

If you're getting Left 4 Dead and wouldn't mind exchanging steam usernames, I'd appreciate it. I need some cool people to play with upon release. Thanks!

Mine is Exotic_Pwner

Crysis_Pwns

:(

dude you're so cool coming on a message board and frowning.

I think the sad face is because you say you want some "cool people" and your Steam ID is "Exotic_Pwner. :lol:

actually, the sad face was because i wanted to give my steam id but you wanted cool people so i didn't qualify. jokes are lost on all you people!!! :P

ultima online. without a doubt.

edit: ok, i didn't read the op, and after reading it, i have to agree with everyone who said everquest based on the op's definition of granddaddy. but as for what i perceive to be the definition of granddaddy, it's ultima online. i think of everquest more as the daddy of mmos. and wow's the bastard child that bludgeoned everyone in the family to death and took over the kingdom.

Are GS planning to review this game? It's a great remake of a classic, and has been getting good reviews all around. Seems like they're neglecting it.F1_2004

they tend to do that every now and then with expansions.
