Quote: So, if anybody here is ever thinking of making money in the shareware world, then I'd advise against it. I'm getting a lot of downloads, but hardly any sales. There's just no money in shareware anymore!
There is indeed a lot of money to be made in shareware. The shareware business is still booming. The problem is that shareware users are more picky then they used to be. And there is a lot of competition.
Ran, I think it is totally awesome that you completed this game. This officially puts you in the top 5%! Even so, people are people and what they like is what they buy. You had a lot of downloads and few sales. This does not mean that there is no money in shareware. It may mean that Noah's Adventure just did not (yet) strike a chord with the genreral downloading public.
So, don't dispare! You did a great thing. Perhaps it will yet take off in the shareware arena. Perhaps not.
