Is their any chances for Front Office Football to have a Free Download?

[jianoran]

Since Sports PC Games have Free Downloads of Full Version Games (Sports Games like Baseball Mogul 2006, Out Of The Park 5, etc.) When will the Full Version Front Office Football 2004 and Front Office Football The College Years, could have a Free Download forever?

[Vince]

I'm guessing never. Just a thought.

[GoldenEagle]

Yea, I do not think you have much chance of seeing that happen, especially with TCY since it is the only generation of that product.

I wonder if developers who have done this have seen any type of monetary gain from releasing past versions?

[Chubby]

I believe Jim still makes a couple of bucks off of TCY and at this point it's all gravy. I don't see any reason for him to have it be free.

Yeah, i wonder if you released, say FOF4, as free ware if it would have any kind of sales impact.

[Young Drachma]

Seems to me like people wanting something for nothing. People still buy Nintendo games or purchase used games all the time and yet, they want small developers to give their games away.

If they choose to do it, that's super. But I don't see why people would expect others to follow in this regard, just because someone else did it.

Especially since he doesn't release a new game every year.

Please stop causing problems.

[Franklinnoble]

I dunno... I don't see much problem making old versions of FOF freeware at this point. I really can't see it having a negative impact, and, in fact, it might draw in some new customers who find the game while searching for a free football sim, and then decide to pay for the updated version.

[Anthony]

i'd love to have FOF2 for free

[stevew]

I wish i still had my receipts for the 2 EA versions of FOF I bought. I loved those games.

[jianoran]

We hope we can see it when Solecismic Software will no longer order the retail versions Front Office Football 2004 and Front Office Football The College Years so both versions will have a Free Retail Version for Download (no ads, no time limits, no free trials, no credit cards etc.), i can't to download without a free trial and without a retail version.

exactly.



ok bye

No it's a hoax that means the real one is

[stevew]

Yeah, at first i maybe thought a bit differently, but this guy just wants something for nothing, and is too cheap to buy a game that is only 30 bucks.

[rkmsuf]

Ah, I see now.

[stevew]

I don't get it?

[st.cronin]

I think it would be nice if people gave me stuff for free, too.

[rkmsuf]

I don't get it?

It's so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course.

[Tigercat]

It still wouldn't be better than free boobies.

I don't see a reson to do that to be honest with you. There is a demo of both games available, and Jim's demos don't have advertising in them. They are limited in that you can only play through the first few weeks of the season, but then again it is a demo.

I understand the logic behind Mogul's and OOTP's decisions to make their old games freeware, but this is the exact reason to me why I don't see the upside -- it's probably a wash between the few people who actually try the free game and buy a new one and the people who just mooch off the old game and then want to know why you're not giving them something else for free.

I also think it says a lot about the product. I think some companies go the freeware route because they need the publicity. I think Jim's games speak for themselves. If you need a free version of FOF to get you to buy FOF, then I think you just don't get it.

I think this is one of the guys from the chat log Sov posted from his World Cup online viewing experience.

[Grammaticus]

Yeah and I was wondering when someone would like to come by, mow my lawn and clean my pool for free. I really can't wait until that happens.

Grid Iron has the .exe for download, and if you owned it before you can get the license again...but the problem is that if you have both FOF2 and FOF2K4 on your computer you have to do some funky stuff in order to play them both.

Took the words right out of my mouth.


Then jumbled them up, and spit them out.

Damn straight.

I can't believe this didn't lead to a request for somebody's license or the revelation that this guy has tried to get a license from somebody. I'm very disappointed.

Wow, this thread has gone on a lot longer than I expected.

Having just read through the blackjack thread, I felt the need to return to what I consider the beginning...
