Update 16 Sept 2011: I have emailed SquareEnix to see if they had any options to do 2 things.
1. Make a Linux and Macintosh clients to spread the love and gain more players.
2. Sell the "FFXI : Ultimate Collection 2011" on Desura and other possible games.
I got and email saying that I will get a reply back in 4 business days give or take?
Squareenix , EA , Ubisoft. Companies like this you think how amazing would it be if they added some of their games to Desura.
The Idea
I have been for a few months been on a "Quest" if you will to bring games to Desura by emailing major label companies.
Back in 1992 (before emails) a group of individuals wrote some letters to a magazine about how a phone company should change how they bundle their product to customers. In that article they said that they need as much support as possible and asked everyone to flood the companies with letters asking them to change the bundle product. 14,639 letters were sent to that company they saw that people do pay attention and want a change.
I want to get some suggestions on some AAA games and the name of the company that makes it . Each month I want to sit down with some people and take a vote. In each month well decide to mass email the company we pick to either :
1. Get the game on Desura.
2. Get a Linux Port made so then it can be added for linux gamers.
The People
Now everyone involved must get everyone they know to write an email. I know with my friends alot of them just want to write an email to "Stick it to the man". Others will help to because they are my friends. You will have some people who will say "Why even bother?". Why did the people of France revolt against the monarchy? Because changes needed to be made. Last week I was asked this question. "Why just put Windows on your computer?" Why should I? As a customer I would like to be able to play games on Desura and on Linux. In my mind since the wonderful team at Desura are opening their doors to support Linux gamers I will do the best I can to bring "the masses", what brings customers to Desura are games like Bad Company 2 , Final Fantasy 7 , Call Of Duty : Black Ops , Prince Of Persia , etc.... Don't ever get me wrong I will buy as many Indie games as I can to support those who work so hard for the community. I want to bring the masses and help make Desura the best multi computer platform game distributor on the net.
If interested feel free to PM or post a comment.
