If the question refers to the account, then say I "no".

Same to me what Lennier said.

By the way, dont you think that only User with the permission of the Forum admin shall be able to create a poll?
I might start an own poll about that. (Irony)

Bye bye
Yours,

I would never pay for web-stuff. But I would send 100 E-mals to get in this game. (Actually, I don´t have to send 100 E-mails ´cause I already got an Accound with only two E-Mails)

Are you referring to online games or all games in general? For online, it should be the choice of the creator(s).

For the games you got to the store and buy they should not be free, in fact, those who pirate those games should be hit with a very heavy fine, as pirating them is in violation of international copyright law. Think of it this way, the company sells the game at a price they choose, they must support the graphic designers, various programmers, managers, administrative assistants as well as rent, or the cost of the building, various utilities, computer maitenance and many more things. If all games were free, there would be no games with dazzling gameplay and graphics ((not that my computer will run them :D ))... Understand?

Online games, not always.
Store bought games, never.
...to be honest I see very little use for this poll...

If you mean all games, my first choice would be yes, because, really, who likes to pay for things? :biggrin: But if you think about it, if games arn't payed for, the quality of games will decrease, and eventually you'll just get crappy free games. Id rather get good games you pay for then always crappy games you don't. Now if you mean, I don't have to pay anything, but every other consumer does, so i get the best of both worlds then sure i don't want to pay, because we're all greedy to some extent :biggrin:

The only games I can actually run are the free ones with economy-level graphics, and I'm glad those are free! But I support the "no" side of this poll. On the other hand, if there were more free games, we may not get the players like Twe... :twisted:
