Why not? As long as you shift enough copies, you can't lose by using
an inexpensive channel. :-)

It would seem like that's not really required... :-) It's either that
- ie games that sell themselves through demos and word-of-mouth - or
a massive marketing campaign, preferably with some well known brand
names in the mix.

Not, me; I'm just an observer and spare time hacker. (I code for a
living, but not games.)

Great idea! I'm definitely interested, though I don't have any
"products" at the moment. Not much in terms of demos either, though
I'm hacking some weird stuff in the little spare time I have... That,
and my new real time scripting engine (EEL), might help realize some
ideas of mine, starting in a few months or so.
(Well, there is good old Kobo Deluxe, but the game is not my design -
it's a port of an old Un*x game - and it could use some new artwork.
Either way, that game is and will remain Free/Open Source.)
