Most of those are probably spam names.

Every game is free... you just have to pay the handling fee :(

I'll pay a very small portion of that handling fee.

For goodness sakes. We should get 10 copies free for everyone that has over 100 posts before the game comes out.

That likely translates into at least 500 paying customers to recoop development time&costs.

Free copies? :dry:
If Norb handed out free copies, then we wouldn't have the 'right' to bitch about the bugs don't you know!:laugh:
Norb, there WILL be bugs, won't there? :unsure: :cheer:

I have yet to write bug free software. I try and sometimes think I am perfect, but I am constantly put back in my place. So odds are that there will be bugs, plenty of them.

The only free copies of the game go to the people that work on the game and to official reviewers sometimes, everyone else pays.

I don't mind paying for the game as I expect to be paid for my work. It's handling fees that get my goat....B)

That was a joke. But it is a marketing tactic. Say something is $50. You can advertise it for 19.99, but sneak in a $30 dollar handling fee to make up your difference. Or say it's free, and sneak in the entire 50 as the handling fee. In the end you pay the same.
