Re: SOE Game Distribution

I'll just float this out there, since it's somewhat on topic.
It astounds me how many free to play games shoot themselves in the foot with terrible distribution/installers.
Step one to converting F2P to some paid revenue is to make sure your users can actually install the game and patch it.
Yet 4 games I've tried to download and install in the past month have simply not worked, and trying to find support just results in crickets.
Not small profile games, either -- I'm talking City of Heroes (gives me a 403: Forbidden error when I run the - I presume, web-based - installer, citing a server error); DCUO (similarly gives me a vague and generic error message that suggests it's a problem with the server; I got around that one since it's on Steam, too); and two others...
So, yeah. Keep that in mind, guys.
