Pirated Amnesia

[jaivyn]

Games from other publishers are avaiable at first release day in shop's shelfes.

That is because Amnesia DIDN'T HAVE a publisher. Many indie games are only available for downloads. Machinarium is an indiegame that I have NEVER seen in retail (apparantly, it has been released in retail though), but I could buy it through Steam. Steam looks like it will be the future anyway.

Risen was made by the makers of Gothic and was supported by JoWood, and now by Deep Silver which are both large publishers. Deep Silver is a huge company and JoWood sells lots of rpgs, so that's not really a good comparison.

There is a retail release. q.q


Also, tv commercials will not work.
I think that the game also hasn't sold much because it is a niche. I know many people who are interested, but aren't willing to buy it cause they're easily scared.
