In my opinion, one of the biggest problems we have is people sympathising with pirates or minimising what they do - this is essentially what you are doing.
Since I report Vogel's stuff in our news, here's a look at his constant whining about piracy.
1. This article. It's as much about looking after your customers but let's count it.
2. Interview at RPG Codex. Nothing on piracy.
3. Blog on the iphone. Nothing about piracy.
4. How Many Games I Sell #2. Nothing on piracy.
5. How Many Games I Sell #1. Yep, talks about piracy.
6. First blog post. Nothing about piracy.
7. Interview at Reason.com. Nothing on piracy.
8. GameBanshee interview. Nothing on piracy.
9. View From the Bottom piece at RPG Vault. Nothing on piracy.
10, View From the Bottom #9 at RPG Vault. Nothing on piracy.
Right. Two out of the last 10 pieces he has done mention piracy. One is an article on his sales (do you think it might be relevant?) and one is about how looking after your customers is the best way to go.
The bastard.
Now, get your facts straight and stop supporting pirates by whinging about something that isn't even there.
I agree with you completely. I must admit I've been puzzled by some of the sentiments expressed in this thread.
Here we have a guy that makes (IMHO) quality RPG's. He releases huuge demos, so you can be absolutely sure whether a game's worth spending money on or not. Additionally he has a very non-intrusive copy protection solution. Still he gets pepper for talking about how he feels about piracy.
I just don't get it!
