Shareware Success Stories
Thank you for the flowers. Its not me, its just the game. One morning it stood in front of my door and cried: "Please Niels: Develop me!", so I had no choice.

Uhm. May I blatantly ask everyone to vote for Smugglers in the Isidor contest? I would really like to get this award.
Thank you!

Shareware sucks. We need a new approach to selling our games. Have any of you been to www.neurosy.com? THis is the only place i''ve seen with an organized and intelligent way of selling games...
First you don''t need to post anonymously, it''s fine to announce something once here.
Anyway there are countless examples that games without a strong reason to make people who like them to pay will simply sell no copies at all, even if you ask for 1 cent people won''t pay due to lazyness, begware doesn''t work, if you don''t want money just leave a game freeware but if you want someone to pay you will need a real reason. The only option to get any money by giving full games away is advertising, I never thought I would say this to anyone but: AT LEAST put some advertising in your site.

True... I''ve only heard of one nagware success... Snood. I guess the guy who wrote that pulled something like 250k from it over time. Very impressive, definitely not the norm.
