I'll gladly pay 10-20 dollars for Ace of Spades.

I will say this as many times as I need to until people understand it. If you can't buy it, then that's just too bad. We are living in a world where more and more games are being sold only through online transactions, and no developer is going to make his or her game free just because there are people that can't buy it. The game will sell. We may lose some players because of it, but that's just how economics work. If you can't find a way to buy it, then you can't have it, It's as simple as that.

There are other ways for them to make money without putting a price on the game. Like an adfly web entry thing, it doesn't display an ad that I know of so every time someone goes into the site, they make a cent which adds up pretty fast.

As you may be aware its been confirmed for a while now that AoS will one day be a pay'd game, you will have to pay to register an account and play the game,

^ Disscus.

Some of my thoughts:

I BELIEVE that there will be a free version of the game available, when it goes pay'd.

WHY?

Simple really, ben has built up a player base that he does not want to damage, now he knows that a lot of people in the community will have trouble paying, or there will be a lot of delay in switching to pay'd for alot of people. He wont want to stall the engine of the community.

Therefore I'm thinking a free to play version will be released along side, most likely taking the form of: Cannot change username, can only join certain servers, cannot record stats b/c no account etc and other things that will make it a much better game to play IF YOU BUY IT.

It's also a smart marketing and money making technique, people wont be as tempted to pay for the game from only watching trailers etc, then if they get a taste of the action, and see what they are missing out on.

And then there's the fact that ben will not want to screw over the loyalty of the current players, maybe when forum registration comes out; because when p2p aos is released, they can see how had an account since a certain date in the past. And offer a discount or etc to those people.

----

Just a tired ramble typed out like a dyslexic tuna fish at 1am, enjoy :P

Your forgetting the part where they said that there won't be free version. But I really like the people that played for a long time getting a discount thing, I may be able to get it then :D

IMO, if you had an account on the old forums, you get dis-count or for free.

Who cares about graphics. The only thing I want in a game is the amount of fun I can suck out of it. Ace of Spades has provided that. Buy it? If I had a credit card. I envy you people who can legally own a credit card, I envy you.

I will buy it in a heartbeat. I don't understand why people think there won't be enough content for it to be worth $10. Its got everything a FPS needs and can run on your moms 15 year old thick-as-your-granpas-house computer. I would buy it just for the smexy RPG coming out.

They are adding an MMG, an RPG, helicopters, health and ammo crates, a snazy new title screen, and a name change thats automatic (hopefully automatic). So there will be plenty new toys for it to be worth the buy.

I definatley would buy Ace Of Spades. It's always on my mind when I'm doing something else. I know it may need more upgrades etc. but it keeps me entertained for a very long time, and I have chatted with some awesome people. I like the fact that it's so simple yet amazing.

The helicopter was just a placeholder, we are not getting it in 1.0

I would buy it. If I had a credit card, which I don't. I would buy it if it was an app. Maybe even if it was just a map building app.

Well, that depends
If the game cost money, the community would most likely improve
And developement would be accelerated
But at the same time, when ace of spades was rifles only, when people still played on classic maps, that there was a game I'd pay for.

Sure I would - if it was in the 10-20 dollar price range, and I have a few bucks to bust.
