If he's not giving away a registration code, then it's probably still just the demo, in which case it's not so big a deal. That's the nature of shareware. [ Monday, July 23, 2007 10:11: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

It depends upon whether all that gets downloaded is the demo version which means this is just a link to the download page or whether it includes the registration code file. It's probably ok but I can't check Windows versions. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Iffy, Oberon Media is a publisher/distributor. Jeff likely has an agreement with them to distribute the game in order to increase its circulation. They receive a cut of the sale price, but if the game is reaching a wider audience as a result, then it's worth it to Jeff, especially if (as is obvious) he retains the right to sell the software on his own site and through other vendors.This way he gets more money than he would otherwise. Your concern is touching, though. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Sorry for the DP - this post is a push to get my last one to appear. Why are the boards doing this? [ Monday, July 23, 2007 10:30: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |
