Ransom model

2017-07-28T10:28:19Z

94.122.117.18:

he '''Ransom model''', also known as '''street performer protocol''' or '''fund and release''', is a business model in which the producer holds back games from release until members of the public pledge enough money to reach the producer's specified fund raising target.

==History==
The first known instance of proposal for this business model in relation to producing [[Free software|free]] games is the essay ''Bedroom Coder's Business Model''.<ref>[http://tdaa.digitalproductions.co.uk/history/bcbm.htm Bedroom Coder's Business Model]</ref> The article also advised that the developers shouldn't try to hoard and license technology, instead it advocates that developers let their [https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.en.html#IntellectualProperty “IP”] proliferate into the public domain.

[[Sixth Floor Labs]] is the first known company to try this business model but closed door after their first game.<ref>[http://www.sixthfloorlabs.com/posts/2008/02/09/We__39__ll_be_around/ Closure announcement of Sixth Floor Labs]</ref> [[Bram Stolk]] is currently experimenting with the ransom business model with the game [[Howitzer Skirmish]].<ref>[http://howski.sourceforge.net/ The homepage of Howitzer Skirmish]</ref>

A developer offered and was hired to worked on the [[Globulation 2]] project in return for payment.<ref>[http://cofundos.org/project.php?id=49 Genixpro's offer to work on the project]</ref>

== Auto-update of 'Recently released games' ==

For the anonymous visitor, this doesn't seem to happen, but it does when I log in. Same for page "New games and releases", and "Template:Main Page/Recently release isn't quite up to date either when not logged in. Is this a caching problem with the database queries, and can it be fixed? -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 14:10, 4 October 2014 (CEST)

== Recently released games sometimes regresses ==

Has anyone else noticed this? Sometimes the Recently Released Games section goes back, to where Xonotic 0.8 was the most recently released game in January.
[[User:Taknamay|Taknamay]] ([[User talk:Taknamay|talk]]) 16:22, 10 May 2015 (CEST)
:The Recently Released games list seems to get regular updates now - thank you whoever fixed this (assuming this wasn't due to alignment of the planets or something random like that). But sometimes, I still see possibly related weirdness going on: [[:Category:Godot_games]] seems to contain two games when I'm logged in, but when I'm not Minilens is missing. -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 11:45, 4 July 2015 (CEST)
