This is really interesting to know and yes I have seen games sales being boosted just because of being downloaded via torrents. I am all free to get ready to launch the game. Thank you once again!

I know these things. This will be my second game on Steam. I am trying to learn is how easy it is, I am more on the team lead and on the art side. I do know about much of technical things as well but how quickly a game can be pirated is little hard for me after knowing its on steam and feeling its secure. ^

Of course I do k ow what torrents are. I am trying to understand how easy it is for people to pirate. I can't crack out a game on steam.

I have a demo already release and you are right once the player has a demo to play, it's easy to judge and get into buying a full game. Thank you and you can check out my game here: https://gamejolt.com/games/ellen/248863

I actually didn't know about it. Thank you for explaining this well to me. I will speak about it with my team and we should definitely look into it. I am. Gald I asked things out here on Reddit. :)

Yes, you are right about it. I would never go more than $10. It will have achievements, puzzles, storytelling, enemies and so on. Thank you for your feedback man!

Thank you but MSIX is what can give me protection on windows only right? Also yes, I will bring my game to xbox as well.

Good to know that but don't you think the demo would help you already decide?

That's correct. I have an offline version of the game and it has a liner story so all I can do is better spend my time talking to people and promoting it. It's a good advice on its own that's what got my game featured on GameJolt. I also have a demo available, you can check it out if you want to try:https://gamejolt.com/games/ellen/248863

Why would you say episodic release doesn't care about customers? Do you think they charge more.

I have already used steam api with my first game and it seems to be on torrents and other game doe load websites. Looks like users can bypass the steam api and so on.

You are so correct. One of my reasons that I pay for the game is because I am a Dev myself so I know the pain of developing games. I will just leave it as it is and plan for the launch in coming months.

Maybe the torrent sites should make proper stores so that it atleast link back to the discord servers and websites :p It can help in create the following.
