bit-tech News: Making Gaming Better

news · April 25, 2008

Hi all,

We have just published an editorial titled '*Making Gaming Better*',

which discusses ways to 'fix' PC gaming. If you could post a link on

your site that would be very much appreciated.

*Description:

*Cliff Harris sees a bleak future for the games community. An insular

group that purges n00bs, defends violent media and pirates games

regularly - the end could be at hand! Thankfully, Cliff has a whole list

full of ways to make gaming good again...

*/"Eight: Try to buy direct

Most people know that buying direct from the developer earns the dev a

bigger share than buying from a store, but do you have any idea how much

difference it can be? In some cases it's a tenfold difference! I've

nothing against publishers and retailers, but the whole system collapses

if the guys making the games don't do well. It makes a huge difference

if you can buy direct, and if your favourite developer doesn't sell

direct, email them and let them know you would buy direct if you could.

It takes five minutes."/

*Cheers guys!
