Tue Jun 20 17:43:54 +0000 2017Replying to @dosnostalgic
(2/2) since at the time DOOM was super easy to pirate, and Myst was certainly wasn't.
Tue Jun 20 17:45:32 +0000 2017Replying to @dosnostalgic
In the 90s, it was really hard for me to find a computer that DIDN'T have DOOM on it. We don't have any data on how much it was pirated.

Tue Jun 20 17:56:58 +0000 2017Replying to @Jehar
Errr... My only point was that officially Myst sold 4x more copies than Doom. If anything, the shareware thing would add to my point.
Tue Jun 20 18:01:45 +0000 2017In case my point wasn't clear: officially Myst sold almost 4x more copies than Doom.
Tue Jun 20 18:08:01 +0000 2017Replying to @dosnostalgic
I speculate that if Doom was harder to pirate, we would have seen much higher figures for it.
Tue Jun 20 18:09:08 +0000 2017Replying to @dosnostalgic
Two additional points to consider is that some people would settle for just the shareware. It was legal, and a whole third of the game.
Tue Jun 20 18:10:58 +0000 2017Replying to @dosnostalgic
And the fact that Doom originally wasn't sold at retail stores, meaning you'd have to make an effort to actually obtain a registered copy.
Tue Jun 20 18:12:44 +0000 2017Yeah, it's like Prince's Batman single (not the soundtrack). Has anyone paid for it? Yet it "moved" a ton of copies that year. https://x.com/richardcobbett/status/877227672992186368

It really just feels like years of being a Twin Peaks fan are finally paying off, because the new series would have been impossible to watch

It is weird that the decision was made to make the new series the way it is, essentially cutting off everyone who never watched the old show
Sun Jun 25 19:19:14 +0000 2017Replying to @dosnostalgic
Like, Lynch and Frost made the show that's essentially catering only to fans who have been obsessing with Twin Peaks for years.
