Hi,

I'm studying for an MSc in Video Game Technology (I know, sounds like a lot of hard work - Not!!!) and I'm in the process of developing a game that I was planning to distribute as freeware/shareware and encourage players to pass on to their friends. The objective of this is two-fold:
- to get my name known in the industry
- to make a little cash $$$

My questions are that if you happenned upon such a game that you found fun and spent upwards of half an hour playing:
- how likely would you donate some money to the developer of the game, and if so how much?
- have you ever given money to such "worthy causes" in the past, and if so how much and what was the factor that swayed you into parting with your hard earned cash?

Thanks for your future replies.

Andy
