Work continues on my new game, which I hope to release later this year. But I've got a problem, now that I've finally decided to charge a license fee for it. What's the best and most secure way to do this? I plan for the thing to be distributed the same way UBB is... that is, pay a license fee, get members area access, and download as often as necessary until the members area access expires. But I assume that Groupee is probably using something they developed in-house to manage their members area subscriptions. So I'm wondering if anyone around here has any experience with any similar products.
I've been looking through Hotscripts, but almost all the Paypal IPN interfaces for "digital goods" tend to revolve around immediate downloads via time-limited or single-use download links sent through email, and don't really seem to support the concept of a members area. There are a couple members area type scripts there, but they don't have any reviews and their websites look a little spooky so I'm not really sure whether I should trust them or not. And I thought about using Digital River, but there's no mention of how much that service costs anywhere on their website - they want you to fill out a form requesting a callback from one of their "friendly sales associates" - which probably means I can't afford it.
So yeah. I don't suppose there's any chance someone here has any experience with this type of thing? Or perhaps could point me to some other site that's more suited for this kind of question. Thanks in advance.
