Hello again!
As the Massive Assault Network (MAN) community is building, I'm looking to buy Massive Assault (MA) for its single player gameplay. MA is the only single player game I enjoy playing, which shows its goodness of gaming.
MA seems to be mostly sold in online software stores, as I could not find MA at retail outlets such as CompUSA, BestBuy, and EBGames.
This brings me to the idea of distributing MA as an "unlockable" download aka "Try & Buy." Not only does it offer instant gratification, but it saves people from ordering online (such as UK's play.com) with large shipping fee's. Though MA is being shifted into MAN, I think there's a site that would help sell MA and do the complete Try & Buy and merchant/ordering for the product.
So for all Wargaming.net employee's, please take a look at, and consider using the services of:
http://www.trygames.com
I'm not connected to TryGames in anyway, but I think it'd be a great idea. TryGames is a fairly new service that is catching on very quickly with cooperation from large businesses such as GameSpy/FilePlanet and many more. Their service takes a PC games "demo" and uses a copyprotection (that so far hasnt been cracked) similar to V-Box as it lets the gamer buy an unlock serial from the trygames.com store and immediately give full access to the full retail gameplay. They seem to streamline this process and it looks like theyre getting a lot of customers. It could possibly be implemented with MAN, but MA is definitely suited for this service!
Hope this helps with sales. and help me from ordering MA overseas!
