Poll 2011 - Distribution preference

[BasiliskWrangler]

To help us decide what kind of features to offer on future games, we run polls like this once per year.

I've tried both methods with my own games over the years. From my standpoint, I've always found the separate full version download to be the easiest. When I did registration codes, I was always getting e-mails from customers whose code didn't work (usually because they tried to type it in and mistyped it), who lost their code and needed a new one, etc.

Also, it's a lot easier for pirates to distribute a registration code than to host a file.

As a customer, registration code to unlock the game was very good. I could keep my saves without having to do some manual meddling.

I prefer one download because of the file size, but either one is fine.

[WorBlux]

I liked the code better, that way I can easily switch between different computers, even if they use different operating systems.

[sirdilznik]

I don't really have a preference. Whatever is easier for you, BW, is fine with me.

[IJBall]

I definitely prefer the Book II method.

I never had a problem with the Book I way, but I've seen many people on these forums (esp. newbies) have issues with the Book I method, where the only people who ever seem to have Book II issues are people who got Book II via 'third parties' (e.g. Steam).

So, I think for us, and for you, the Book II method is probably preferable.

I chose #3, either is fine... but MGC has a point... every time I get a new computer I have to ask Jeff Vogel at Spiderweb to send me all new codes.
