Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Introduces a Unique New "Try Before You Buy"
Option
Innovative option allows consumers to share copies of the game with friends and
family
November 7, 2008, Cary, NC - Looking to give consumers the most flexibility with
their purchases of the Windows PC version of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, cdv
Software Entertainment USA and Ascaron Entertainment are pleased to announce the
inclusion of an innovative "Try Before You Buy" system for their upcoming RPG
game.
Using this innovative new feature, downloaded or purchased copies of the full
game can be shared with friends and family, with these shared copies acting as
full-featured demos for the duration of one calendar day. During the demo period
the game is completely unlocked for single-player and LAN multiplayer modes.
After the demo install expires the consumer has the option of purchasing the
full game online, or simply uninstalling it. This, for example, allows consumers
who purchased the full game in stores or via digital distribution channels, to
share their game with friends, with those subsequent installs acting as
time-limited "try before you buy" versions that allow gamers to enjoy almost all
features found in the full game.
"We feel that consumers should have a right to choose, and this innovative
system offers the perfect purchasing option for gamers," said Heiko tom Felde,
Managing Director of ASCARON. "It's a great system for family and friends,
allowing everyone the opportunity to try out the game and play together, then
making a purchase decision."
"This innovative digital rights management solution raises the bar on how
consumers can sample games before they buy them," added Mario Kroll, Director of
Marketing and PR for cdv Software Entertainment USA. "Rather than showcasing
only a limited character or content selection, as most traditional demos do,
gamers can share and enjoy the full game experience, trying out the features
that most appeal to them, and getting a true sense of the full game."
