shareware and doom

[Sephiroth]

we all remeber how excited we were when we downloaded the shareware version of doom (hey there are alot of 'w's in that sentence)
so do you think that Id will have a sharewar epsiode for doom III?

personaly no, would most likely be too big.

however look how it helps games to have a shaware 'epsiode'. you dont just get a few levels and guns, but a whole episode. which in doom was 1/3 of the game. at the time the plasma rifle and BFG teased me.

so what do you think about shareware and games. i think it is a great idea to have a nice sized section of a game as shareware. lets people see what a game is about.

Shareware doesn't exist anymore - now it's called a demo. And since there was a Q3A demo, I think a Doom III demo is likely.

[Dron]

I hope there will be. Something to do while waiting for Doom3 to be available and stuff.

[Arioch]

Of course, id has said that a demo to Doom 3 is unlikely.

[Vile]

Even if it did happen, it might even come out after the full game, like Max Payne 2 or something.

I won't even waste my time on a doom 3 shareware. I want the real thing!!!

[insertwackynamehere]

I think we should bring back shareware. I always liked it.

There was no Doom2 shareware so I expect there to be no Doom3 shareware :(
