    Is that a joke?

    Ask Rockstar to make GTA IV free when they release GTA V, see what happens.

    What do you mean by "i can't get it"? Daddy won't let you use his card?

    Mow some lawns and open up a PayPal account. It's $17AUD, ffs.

    GTA was always commercial from beginning. We cannot compare.

    Rigs of Roads is free why DRIVE commercialized? I think commercializing Rigs of Rods is clearly theft and betrayal.

    You should make dual licence for DRIVE open source and commercial.Otherwise I think you will get response from "instant karma"

    ..and? BeamNG is also commercial.

    Who the hell is talking about Rigs of Rods.
    Rigs of Rods has nothing to do with BeamNG. Rigs of Rods is freeware and opensource, BeamNG is totally recoded from scratch based on the same concept, on a new engine with Commercial purpouse.
    Rigs of Rods will never be commercialized.

    DRIVE is NOT opensource, it's commercial ONLY.
    DRIVE is the game the developers are making.
    BeamNG is the physical engine, which AFAIK it will be sold to game developers for their own projects (will const more than Drive due licencing probably).




    If you can't buy it, it doesn't mean it has to be free.

    Dont ask for free stuff. Getting something because it's free doesn't mean its going to be good quality. I'd pay them 60$ for the game if it landed on the shelf at a store. The game is worth the 15$ so i'd suggest actually buying it.

    Ever heard the old saying "Time is Money" ?
    For how much time Beamng has put into this game, the measly $15 price tag is by far a under payment for there time.
    Hell, that's why i donated some extra $$$ when i bought alpha.

    DRIVE is commercialised because it is having thousands and thousands of hours of work put into it from scratch, full time, by an actual company.

    In other news, I am now even more baffled at OP seeing as he has a Mac, yet cannot afford ?10/$15. If you want free stuff in life, you are going to have to give free stuff back like money, sex. or pretty coloured drugs. Do I want amazing quality free stuff? Hell yes. Is it fair on the people who made the stuff in the first place? No. A night out costs more than Drive. If you can't afford that, chances are your computer can't run it anyway.

    I would think if anyone has a computer that can run Drive, you can afford to buy it.

    I know how to get the game for free! Get together with three friends, all get good computers, spend the appropriate amount of time to learn C++, 3DSMax/Blender, Torque3d, and lua. Then learn to create accurately proportioned vehicles, objects, and everything else, as well as how to lay out a good map. Then you and your 3 friends work together for well over a year to create an awesome car physics game. Now you have a finished product that you and your 3 friends can enjoy. Now the question is, do you just give all of your hard work to the entire world? For free? How long will you be able to put up with pages and pages of retarded complaints like HURR DURR CAR NO KORNER AT 3,000KMH WITH MODDID ENGIN IS UNREALISTIK FIX PLS with absolutely no compensation before you finally give up and make it private again or abandon the project completely? That's what happened to RoR, and why a number of prominent members/devs left (including some (all?) of the people who are working on DRIVE.)

    Although I think cutting a few lawns is easier, quicker, and less stressful.
