Hi, I'm trying to sell my first game and also trying to find the best way so that a potential customer can buy my game in easy steps and also protect my interests (in a sense of less piracy).
It all come down to these options :
1. License Key Method, customer download the game, customer buy a license key and then unlock the game.
This seems like a good common solution with the setbacks of :
a. Customer need to download the whole game means bigger bandwith usage and sometimes customer don't complete the download.
b. License Key can be generated by pirates, put it on a warez website, which means very easy to crack my game.
2. Full Version Download, customer download the demo, customer buy my game and get the privilege to download my full version game.
This method have setback of :
a. The full version of my game can easily be copied and distributed.
Between these two methods, which one do you prefer ? Can you guys tell me your experience ??
Btw, I'm trying to use Plimus but I can't seem find a way to get the FAQ for the License Key method..
