Well, I think 3DR could afford to put the full game on this site and charge 1 $ via credit card for each download. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

So what is your guess? 1,000,000 downloads in just one day? I think it's possible, even with Prey. And wait until DNF is released... woawoa!!!!

Maybe they can (although I seriously doubt they will http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif )

But I hope they don't. I don't own a credit card (not required in holland an I refuse to pay for it http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif )so I will not be able to play the game then. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

^Well, I was joking.

No video game in the world is so heavily anticipated that it would be downloaded 1,000,000 times in one day.

Except DNF ofcourse. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hhg.gif

P.S. And besides, it would crash any server and mirror it is hosted on, because the bandwidth and traffic would be MURDER!

3D Realms is just producing the game IIRC.



It is far far away from "just" they produced Max Payne here are some quotes about what their roel was from Scott Miller:

"Just to be clear that I do not hijack improper credit, Max Payne was developed (all content and code) by Remedy Entertainment (they did all the hard work!), and produced by 3D Realms (meaning we funded a significant portion of the game, handled the publishing agreements, helped guide the game's design, helped play-tested and polished the game, handled the shareware release, and oversaw and co-designed the game's marketing)."

"With Remedy, the initial design came from them, and 3DR helped them change it such that it had all the right hooks to be a major hit (3.6 million sold and still selling). We were involved throughout the design, polishing and marketing of the game. And we paid for a substantial chunk of development (as opposed to a publisher, who advances funds, and then recoups them, thus paying zero for development in the end)."

[Kristian Joensen]

Here is another quote:

"What role does 3D Realms have in the development of the Max Payne franchise?

It's fair to say we played a significant role in the outcome and success of the game, from concept, design, quality assistance, to marketing. That said, it was a true collaboration and neither party could have succeeded nearly as well without the input and talents of the other. Remedy's design and development expertise is world class."
