I know that from a personal experience. we cared too much about making loads of money off it, and it turned out to such a big piece of crap that we had to drop it. my assumption that 2dboy doesn't really care right now, comes from the anniversary sale where everyone could buy the game for whatever price they wanted. of course development costs money. thats totally true and I totally agree. developers should get paid for what they do, cause they do it damn well. I, for one, buy every indie game that I like. I know they need money. anyway, cracking, when it first started, was done because some guys were really pissed off about their original CDs getting scratched. this has evolved into a bad thing, and that's a shame. well, I didn’t say that they shouldn’t care about making money. the thing is that, when you care too much about making loads of money off your game, it tends to be a piece of crap.

It is really simple. We need some money for rent, food, cat food and music. No need for Ferrari's at the moment. Next to that we need money to develop this game and games after that. The more money we have the more independent we can stay. Right now most of the time we spend on ibb & obb is about getting the financing done. If we would have the money ourselves we could spend our time on actually making the game. Well yes the money thing…

You seem to forget about the fact that making a game costs money, so saying the WoG guys nor the creators of Ibb&Obb care - or shouldn't care - might be a bit short sighted. Ofcourse, it should never be about making loads of money, but it should at the very least be profitable, granting the developers to make a new - and even more awesome - game. The bigger and better, the more money it costs. An unfortunate but simple reality. Apart from all this, the WoG and ibb&obb guys simply deserve to get paid for making our lives a bit more fun. Cheers, browns I beg to differ, my friend: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2008/11/acrying-shame-world-of-goo-piracy-rate-near-90.ars

In the end, it's not really about making loads and loads of money...it's about getting your game out so people can play it and give you feedback, so you can make better games in the future. the more people to play it, the better. dude…the WoG guys don’t really care. they’ve got more money than you could ever imagine.
