[April Fool] AGS to become shareware

Broomie · Thu 01/04/2004 21:06:46

Ahhh... I crapped myself with relief. Man don't scare us like that, you're a rather twisted (but lovable) git! But don't know what happened at the AGDI forums, I mean WTF? If it's there odd way of an April Food's then surely they'd have put it back to normal by now.

Damn I hate April Fool's Day.......

...But....were still getting rid of all those pesky poor people right?

Right?

Gregjazz · Thu 01/04/2004 22:04:03

Ah relief feels so nice. What did CJ do last April Fool's day? I don't remember.

The Knight · Thu 01/04/2004 22:16:23

Didn't CJ say last year he was going to stop making AGS?

Muahahaha!!

I'm still looking forward to that SCRAMM game.

Ginny · Thu 01/04/2004 22:46:41

Hehe, I had a few doubts, but bit by bit things leaned towards the joke. It was preety tensifying. Heh, this day is so much fun!
Seriously, I find it much better to discover some bad news is a prank. Now, a bad april fools joke is when you announce something good

hehe

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CJ, THAT WAS MEAN, CRUEL AND UN-CALLED FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND BRILLIANT!!!!

Great April Fools Day joke!!!! I have to admit, I kinda fell for it.

I think we're all glad to hear that CJ isn't turning on us!

Gregjazz · Thu 01/04/2004 23:29:39

I didn't fall for it, and I am very aware of the fact that it was April 1 over in England. But there's always that nagging doubt.

rtf · Thu 01/04/2004 23:43:02

Not fair! You are 8 hours ahead of me!

Now, to go over the the AGAST and SLUDGE forums and check out what they pulled (I'm registered at both

);

CJ, you crazy bastard. If people ever did have to regester AGS you would be rolling in it! And what ever happened to the bluecup shirts?

Robert Eric · Fri 02/04/2004 00:31:05

Aw, what a waste of my time.

Migs · Fri 02/04/2004 00:58:53

I wouldn't have minded paying $100 for AGS. It's worth it. Nice joke.

shbaz · Fri 02/04/2004 01:16:51

Chris, you idiot. You'd have upwards of $1,000 (US) in only a day if you'd really meant that.

I fell for that completely until I went to the register page to read what someone said was, "Chris's convincing arguments in the main page and registering page for going shareware." At that point, it was obviously fake, but I pressed submit anyways to see what the surprise was. Plus the main page was hopefully just a joke too.

Anarcho · Fri 02/04/2004 02:41:46

Wow, thanks for making me feel like a total asshole. I take back all the nice things I said in my heart-felt post. I meant none of it, and this stupid engine blows. And I would NEVER pay for AGS, cause it's worthless.

what is it you brits say? What a bunch of wankers?

And who was actually in on the stupid thing?

Kairus · Fri 02/04/2004 03:19:51

As I posted before (and was deleted due to the April Foolish content of the message), are you sure CJ is not making this for measuring the market to see how many people would pay if he eventually made it shareware? :o :o :o

Noooo, Chris wouldn't do that... or would he? :

Hollister Man · Fri 02/04/2004 04:36:30

I am too lazy to look and see if I got deleted, but anyways.

I, too, am relieved (reasons below). I would gladly send CJ a hundred bucks though. His efforts have helped me fulfill my childhood dream to some extent. I lived less than an hour from Sierra's Belview office, and I never got to visit it. I wanted to WORK for Sierra as a kid, and although Sierra has gone over to the dark side, (as my sig says) the dream is still alive. I swear on the stack of laundry on the drier that if I ever sell even one copy of my own game, Chris gets 10%.

The relief is that the price tag would scare lots of people away. I am tired of $h1tware like Photo$hop and Window$, but I don't think I could devote the kind of time CJ has without payment.
