Meet n Fuck turns Pay and fuck !

[Tjommi]

Here you go guys, enjoy the latest free meet and fuck game. They now got their own paysite up and running, and I assume from now on we will get demo's from their latest games.

Well, I hope they manage to do decently well.
I won't be paying for those games, though - the new demo has pretty good presentation, but otherwise it feels like a step back from Detective RPG.

[Chaotic]

Aw. Some of those games could be pretty good.

I guess I sympathize though. I know the temptation to charge for games more than most.

The Kelly Date got 6000 downloads during September. If all those users were paying $30 a month for the privilege...

hi there i am thinking of bying a membership at the site......but anyone knows how many games the site has before i do, it wodt be bad too bye it and then only find 3-4 now games in total

At the risk of sounding like a cheapskate, I only played those games cause they were free, I ain't paying to play those games especially now maybe after they added 50-60 new games but for now I'll pass even the demo. Thanks for the old free games bye for now.

True, but when you charge money for something (even if it's something as miniscule as $0.99), you automatically bump it up from a freebie to a retail product, and suddenly it's subject to a lot more scrutiny. It's not entirely fair on the creator, but that's how human psychology usually works.

I'll go out on a limb and wager that a lot of the people who downloaded your games (myself included) don't have the ability to buy stuff online - no credit card, in my case. So if you hadn't released your stuff for free, they probably wouldn't have been able to play it at all.

I can imagine it must feel somewhat disappointing having spent all that time and effort on your games and not having any monetary compensation in return. But if you want people to pay for the game, then I suspect you'll have to be willing to jump in with both feet and invest a lot more into your products to make them 'retail-worthy'. Good job with trying out new economic models like the paid VIP section - if that works out, more power to you.

Salamandastron makes a good point. I'd even say it's not so much not having the ability to buy stuff, but rather that there are a lot of people unwilling to pay. Taking an example from the 'normal' flash game scene, I read about an attempt to sell some premium content for $1.50. The author included some statistics, at it's peak only 1 in 10000 people who played his game bought the premium content.

When you sell things it automatically forces people to ask "am I getting value for my money?". It's the scrutiny Salamandastron mentioned and personally I don't think it's unfair on the creator, after all, he set the price.

Even if the author of the Meet and Fuck series were to churn out 6 games a month, it'd still come down to $5 a game. Given the quality of the free games (if you even want to call it 'games') I'd say this is way overpriced. That's not to say there aren't going to be people paying for it, especially in the erotic business there's always some people that will pay. But the question is whether it is really the 'right' move. Free games get a lot of exposure, payed games stay relatively obscure. And selling the games directly is not the only option to monetize a game, Orgasm Girl 2 for example is going to be sponsored (http://twitter.com/orgasmgirlgame) but afaik will remain free to the player.

I think alfonsen also has an extra point. Looking at the site I get the impression (and incidently, a bit of a headache. Not the best design.) that there's only three games you'll get through membership.

Can't imagine many people paying $30 for that.

[Macca]

Personally i would'nt pay for meet and fuck games they really dont offer any challenge.I would pay money to buy school dreams 4 if Goblin Boy ever decided to do another one.

[Salamandastron]

Hm. I may be late to the party on this, but it turns out that Meet'n'Fuck is still going on as normal, the creator continuing to make full games for free.

However, another outfit called Meet and Fuck is releasing comparitively substandard offerings closely modeled to the Meet'n'Fuck formula. A bit of a cheap move, considering they probably want to be mistaken with the original MnF games. Anyway, apologies to the MnF creator for assuming those other games were his work.

I dont even click on those games anymore.

[walrus13]

The pay site isn't even the origoinal games maker, if you notice the first ones are called 'Meet n Fuck' and the pay site is called 'Meet and Fuck'

[Bonhomie]

Interesting - I hadn't spotted that until you pointed it out.

Both 'types' seem to be on GoD though - has anybody got more information?

Doesn't the owner of GoD post here occasionally?

It is possible that it is the same game makers and they have rebranded, or maybe it is someone rather despicably cashing in on the originals success.

from what ive read meet n fuck is the original and the meet and fuck guys are trying to cash in on anothers great name ,
just take a look at playforceone there is a new game from the original creator of meet n fuck and its free not only that but its an awesome game not like the dross the other lot throw out every day

Hi there,

Frankly if it's not affiliated with GoD, then GoD will not even consider posting it.

For one, I won't mind paying once or so, but how secure it can be? I am not from the United States so I probably have no choice but to find a credit card somehow, but I found the reputation of CCBill is really some kind of disputable.
