Why don't the devs go commercial with H&H?

Post by Shask »

- Buy/rent some expensive, powerful servers
- Start advertising H&H loads
- Give 3 days free trial, then charge a 5 Euro/10 Dollar per month subscription
- Wait until you have hundreds of thousands of players
???
- Profit (literally)

No, bad idea. Go play Salem.

Charging for an alpha means you have to actively develop, that conflicts greatly with these long cycles of development in order to find as close to perfection as possible.

Herp derp, so develop it.

H&H can't stay as a low-key, student project forever. It's too good. It would be a terrible waste if it did.
