- Shareware is a software marketing concept where an incomplete or time-limited version of a program is released to entice people into buying the full (registered) version. Doom and Heretic were both initially released as shareware, each containing only the first respective nine-level in the unregistered version: Doom: Knee-Deep in the Dead and Heretic: City of the Damned. Part of the reason Doom II was not given a shareware release, according to John Carmack, was that "[a] lot of people consider themselves to have "finished DOOM" when they just finished the shareware episode."
- One can simply download the shareware package of choice from the author's website, install it, then and run it. After trying and enjoying the software, one may then simply purchase the full version of the software (either online or by mail order) and continue using it. What an ideal way of trying, using and paying for software! So ideal, in fact, that many average schmucks who only think they can program have attempted to make a quick buck out of it.

The vast majority of shareware is badly written, shabby, buggy, ugly, bloated, dysfunctional, shallow, misguided, and are basically pieces of godshyte with frustrating, idiotic restrictions and insane pricing schemes.
