Obviously, because i went through it before! And gained some XP you know... IRL
First i was paying for games. In Russia. Like 15 years ago. Then i learned i didnt pay for legal games but for illegal copies. It was impossible to obtain legal copies of games in Russia 10-15 years ago. At all.
So i went to become a pirate. Why pay for illegal copies anyway if you can do it for free? Then i understood alot of the shit out there wasnt worth paying a dime for. You pay for laggy crappy made buggy game that is even not fully playabe until a patch arives month later after you paid for it... Aha, aha.
Then i grew up and met games like World of Warcraft, that DELIVER. You pay, but you get for what you paid for. You get support, customer care, neat box etc. But then, not every game is like that.
And then i once again paid for some games that are just useless. Legal or illegal doesnt bother me, it bothers me
a) where my money go
b) what do i get for it
With Renegade, obviously that i do not want ever to buy a game since the money wont go to the great developers that made this great game (and other great C&C titles) but to damn idiot company EA which DESTROYED Westwood Studios. Do i wanna pay someone who destroyed what i love? Obviously not.
If i am asked to pay to a guy who allows me to play this game, pay for the servers i play on, i would agree to do that.
BUT!
I want some proof that i can use those servers first. Dont you check that you can use the new phone before you buy it? Dont you mindlessly pay for a new car without checking it inside out just because you know that its protected by laws and insured - if they sold you a junk deliberatly, they'll pay for that and on top for your expenses, if it somehow breaks, they'll fix it for free. Here, i cant feel that protection.
I dont want to end up like i did month ago when i bought Minecraft - a superb great mega game, but:
- total 0 support or any customer care
- for an odd reason, i cannot host a server nor can i play via my router, it adds a 5 second delay, however every other internet game or protocol runs FINE!
- for another odd reason, it runs 2-3 fps spikes on a pc that runs WoW and other current games on normal-low graphic settings flawlessly
- and for my money i got no actual multiplayer, but a headache to find a server to play on, which will also probably cost money and will actualy never require a licensed version of the game from me...
So all i am looking for is a way to find out if i can actually play it before i pay for it. Or a way to get money back if i cannot play it after i paid for it. Second is not an option i presume, so only first applies.
And obviously i dont want to pay for some scam or something totally unrelated to my activity.
Like the gamespy - it asked me to pay, but suddenly, with a program, i can connect w/o paying. WTf? If this is a hack, and i actualy will enjoy playing the servers, i will not continue to use the hack, but pay. But i think, that page was just a catch to pay for something i totally dont need at all and wont use at all. Ever. Would be foolish to pay for that, no?
