>but, is it a profitable way to sell them?

well, the overhead is almost non-existant, it sounds like there is no
listing fee to put your game up (could be wrong), so it's essentialy free to
sell your game this way, meaning you cant lose money.  I don't see a
downside at all to selling a game this way, but if you are worried you arent
getting enough exposure from just this, you could always sell it another way
as well

but no, i personaly dont have any experience with selling games whatsoever
so maybe im full of it (:

>so what you  guys think about this stuff?

I think I wish I had something complete enough to classify as a game instead
of practice of techniques hehe
