[casual_games] Re: Better Casual Game Business Models

[Jim Greer]

Alex's discussion of content-limited vs. time-limited DRM is a very good one
and has led them to a strategy that shares of lot of features of
Kongregate's. Our microtransactions will be geared towards developers
charging for premium content within their web games - which they upload a-la
YouTube. I've already described that here, and won't bore everyone with the
repititon. I will take the opportunity to announce that the first 10 days of
our private alpha have been great and have affirmed to us that we're on a
solid path. We haven't gotten to the microtransactions or the ads yet, so
we'll see if this continues to hold.

And to Joe's point, we're targeting a younger audience than the traditional
casual one, and more males.

Anyone who wants an invitations please feel free to contact me. If you want
