Pirated Amnesia

[Googolplex]

I read this article from Frictional Games:



"Our conclusion is that a large part of this is due to the lack of pirating in Minecraft compared to us. As I mentioned above, Minecraft has 10x the sales, but only 2x the torrent distributors. A Google search on the subject also turns up twice the hits for Amnesia. It seems like more people are pirating Amnesia and we think there are two main reasons for this. Both of them are related to the single-player nature of the experience.

First of all, once you have played Amnesia there is little meaning to play again. A person pirating the game and finishing it has no real reason to go back. So even if a player likes it and determines that it is well worth paying for, there is no incentive to do so. It is quite common to read on forums that people have downloaded a pirated version and say that they will probably buy it later. The question here is how many actually does this? Even if you really liked the game and want to support the developers, it basically feels like money down the drain since you get nothing extra after paying. This is not the case for a game like Minecraft where more content is released all the time and the game is designed to be highly replayable (and darn it for that, damn time consumer!)."



I think, Amnesia has so much torrents, because there are no retail versions released to buy in regular shops.
The copy protection system is easy to outwit but that is not the reason.
The reason is, that there are not enough people, who knews this game. Only fans of Penumbra and a bit others.
Ask for "Need For Speed", "Call Of Duty", "Fallout" or "Battlefield". Everyone knews that but no one knews Amnesia.
Here Amnesia is a very great game, better as all this others. But if you are growing up with this other games, then you prefer this only.

Amnesia is unique and the world should be playing more like this sort of game. Actually I did not knew any other game that is like Amnesia.
Amnesia has no name in marketing but if it is talking about how fantastic the game is, then it could be able to get a name and people wanted to buy it all (and it costs only little price).

But there is no Amnesia in our shop's shelf.
You are not able to find Amnesia there. Only in the internet as a download version with credit card. There are only a little group of people that buying with credit card.


Find a publisher and distribute it in all the world's shops like Electronic Arts.
Then you should make a short TV-Spot of the game. Then the people will hear the name "Amnesia" and they buy it for little money if they see how good the game is.
