BECAUSE DEADMAU5 IS NOT POPULAR ENOUGH YET.
So, just Maplestoryan, y'know, KSing, all that good stuff. Private Servers, always the fun stuff. And all of a sudden, the server just decides to take a crap on itself, and Mobs stop appearing. So, out of complete boredom, I go research Nexon and their little Private Server 'Love'. See, back in the day, Nexon didn't like it, but it seems as though some servers can get through with a privacy policy. Now, me, being an aspiring Copyright Lawyer found this insanely interesting. Now, this article claims Nexon is in the right, while this post shows that some of the Nexon employees feel like being a dick is the correct route to go. Now, I feel like Private Servers give players an opportunity to become powerful. It's hard in the normal game. These servers allow people to try out some of the later skills, that they may not like in normal Maplestory, and regret choosing. Same with the Cash items. You aren't refunded. And what if you don't like it? Private servers give you the chance to try it without having to actually pay.
Is Nexon in the right or wrong for this?
Digg'n that Deadmau5 song.
ReplyDeleteIts like borderline piracy: you try before you buy, and if you like it, you (may or may not) buy it.
ReplyDeleteI think refunds are essential for a real business model. If your goods are of quality, people won't need refunds anyway.
