think of some of the amazing games u can buy for £5 ($ alerady! u can pick up abrillaint year old games for that price, so i dont c who would buy a clik gam eunless it was really something - so far i havent seen on worth buying (excpet That night before - brilliant)
there are thousands of little sh*ts on the web that charges u 5 dollars for full version. If u spend 4 or 5 month making a game, 3 to 5 daily hours, PLUS u have skills.. AND also u know all the legal stuff u need to know.. I dont see why you wouldnt make 100 or 200 bucks out of a game u make..
It is a matter of how well a game plays and feels. If a click game played as good (and looked as good etc.) as a professional game then there would be good reason to sell it.
I wouldn't sell a klik-game. Most of the graphics/music I use are ripped, so for one thing it would be illegal.
Secondly, there's real crap out there that's expensive. EV Nova(http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/) is an example of a high-quality cheap game, that I'd be more than willing to pay $30 for.(I've played it for 25 hours already....still haven't reached the end of the story - I'm a telekenetic with a Vell-os Arrow! I have a nasty laser beam and it's fun blowing other ships up.)
Too bad some people try to market games that suck. I guess if you want to make money, the real way to do it is applications...Klik products have amazing power. You can alter any line in any file, for example.(Exceptionally useful for me)
Actually I expect to sell my ecryption application for $14.95. The interface is quite polished and the application uses blowfish ecryption which is quite secure. Also it compresses the ecrypted file to save disk space. I expct to add addition features once the copy of MMF Pro I order arrives in the mail. Meanwhile based on what I told you wouldn't you buy my program for the small fee I ask. Compared to other companies that charge $50 you can say that its quite a bargain!

i think its down to reputaiton - people would rather pay more for an encryption program from a trusted company than a cheaper one from somebody they didnt know just because they assume the ppricey one is better
And because they can trust them... Data is important and they don't want to take any risks.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, people are always going to try and sell crap, that's just the way the world is. Personally I don't think a lot of commercial games are worth what you pay. Perhaps it's because I'm not a hardcore gamer but I get bored so easily, and only play some games a couple of times. I recently bought black and white, alone in the dark 4 and red alert 2: yet what do I play most? Worms--the same game I was playing 3 years ago.
Ok I'm drifting off topic. My point is that some commercial games should cost less. Klik games--should be a lot less. 20 bucks is ridiculous.
I don't think people should diss others for trying to sell it, but there should be certain things the creator HAS to sort out. Shitty platform movements, using the standard red counters/blue men for health etc.
However I also don't think the user should expect to go that far. Fine try and sell them to your friends who don't know any better, only for them to give you beats the day after but expecting them to go in the shops is dumb.
But when it comes down to it, what's wrong with it? People don't have to buy the games. And the people who get annoyed about it are probably just pissed because they can't get something alright for free--sadly life isn't like that.
Eg Burger king food is probably shitter than food you'd get in a restaurant..but you wouldn't expect burger king to give you food for free. Ok bad comparison but you get the idea
I don't see a problem at all (provided you've got one of the "legal" versions, that is <¦-) ) - the Click series is like any other authoring tool, and whether you sell or not is up to you. Of course, there are some dreadful shareware games out there, so many people will be able to create something above the minimum standard. And it seems that some people are mug enough to buy anything.
