I WONT BUY YOUR GAME!

- I wont buy your game unless you let me try a demo. (PC-CDROM days)

- I won't buy your game if the demo is too short.

- I won't buy your game if I played your demo for hours and now I am bored of it.

- I won't buy your game unless it has online multiplayer.

- I won't buy your game unless it has twenty hours of single player content.

- I won't buy your game if it has licensed content.

- I won't buy your game unless I can get it used. (Console days)

- I won't buy your game unless it has split screen mode (OK only dumb marketing people ever told me this)

- I won't buy your game if it has online content that can't be unlocked for free used.

- I won't buy your game if it doesn't have X players in multiplayer.

- I won't buy your game if it has paid dlc.

- I won't buy your game if it is free to play (so true).

I won't buy your game!




Those are valid reasons to not to buy a game. You sound offended by customers voicing their opinions what they want.


I didn't mean to sound offended if I did. I was joking.

But I guess if I were trying to be more serious I would point out that people who develop games are extremely aware of the pain points of gamers.
