[April Fool] AGS to become shareware

Mr Jake · Thu 22/07/2004 08:28:31

he doesnt even ask for credit card info.

Pesty · Thu 22/07/2004 12:29:19

OMG DON'T LISTEN TO THEM!

I FILLED OUT THE FORM AND MY CREDIT CARD INFO AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW I HAVE DUCT TAPE AND SMELLY CHEESE BEING CHARGED TO ME! DAMN YOU CHRIS JONES!!!!

Otherwise, A++++++++++ SELLER WOULD DEAL WITH AGAIN.

AGS isn't going to be shareware?! THANK GOD!!!!!
*Corey throws party and drinks way too much*

Wow! My heart stopped when I read this but thank god its just a joke.

I was SO pissed off I sat in the living room with this look

.
After a while I decided to read some more pages and found out. I don't know what I would do without AGS. Thanks for the prank, I must say it makes me feel good to use it(not that it hasn't in the past). Man, I need a drink...

lmfao

also I dont think many of us would be pissed off at AGS going shareware, I mean, Chris kind of would deserve it (and it means we can bitch at him for updates >:) )

sorry for double post!

I wouldn't pay for AGS because you can't put the scripting language on your resume. Which means, all that practicing, for nothing.

But I think people would like to see 90's point and click games on the market. Parents would be like, Woah! I remember these!

Mr Jake · Wed 25/08/2004 09:18:34

AGS would make it easier to learn other scripting languages its similar to C/C++

Gilbert · Wed 25/08/2004 09:28:36

I don't think it's only worth paying for a software if it can make your resume better.
For example, people paid for games, so, did you mean that they shouldn't pay as they can't write them in their resume ? (Well there does exist jobs that are related to gaming experience, but...)

If there's a commercial software and you think it's not worthy of paying for it, just don't use it, if you think it's fair to paid for its usage, just pay, it's just that simple.

I'll definitely pay for AGS if that happens, as I like using it (on the contrary, if I don't like using it I just don't use it anymore).

Plus, you can actually earn money by selling your AGS games (though there're little success marketing adventure games currently).

R4L · Wed 25/08/2004 11:40:36

That's why it ain't worth making like 10 bucks off a game that you might have spent along time on. But, if I had the money and AGS was shareware, I would pay for it.

LOL!

I didn't read this before, so blame me

but it was a great one

Pelican · Thu 26/08/2004 01:01:50

Flip sake! Did somebody bump this just to scare the crap out of me? Still, gave me a good laugh. It almost had me, but I thought it was too suspicious that CJ didn't post after the first one (until he revealed the joke obviously). Leave the title - it'll teach us riff-raffy n00bs to be grateful for the wonderousness that is AGS. Lol.

auhsor · Thu 26/08/2004 15:22:47

Ha, its so funny seeing this thread keeping on being brought up and scaring more people. It is a great april fools joke in that it is still fooling people 5 months after april.

Andail · Thu 26/08/2004 21:36:45

Chris will probably not have to come up with any other April fools joke ever again.

Which is good, so that he can work on AGS instead.

Albert Cuandero · Sun 29/08/2004 18:51:44

Yep, I just stumled into this thread for the first time, and actually scrolled to the end to ask, what came out of it, since I didn't get any shareware warneing.

LMAO!

Cluey · Mon 30/08/2004 01:00:04

dammit, I wish someone would lock this thread, I keep seeing it and thinking 'The bastards!!! They've succumbed to the "shareware tag", noooooo'

MrColossal · Mon 30/08/2004 02:08:59

They sure have... Chris and his... Um... Dopplegangers? Room full of programming monkeys?

Ishmael · Mon 30/08/2004 08:52:01

Think more like of the Uncle Scrooge's(sp?) office where the accoutants(sp?) work... the big room full of desks(sp?)...

HillBilly · Wed 22/09/2004 16:12:11

Haha, best joke ever. I actully belived it, until I saw the registration page. Silly Wabbit.

Or a terrible April Fools joke, since they're supposed to stop at lunchtime.

I wonder if it'll still be going next April Fools Day...

Ishmael · Fri 24/09/2004 16:28:18

Sssh... this is all just the result of CJ's careful planning...

Phemar · Sat 25/09/2004 11:02:36

Don't you guys see? It's not really a joke ... He's just warming us up till when he does decide to make AGS shareware, then we won't take it so hard.

(little does he know...)

*Zor glances at the shining meat cleaver lying next to him.
