Hi Peter,
Its all marketing.
We don't need to compete with the new games..
We can make a website that hosts the old classic games.
1. They will be cheaper. 2. Older people like these.. People 30+. Why is this good? Because THEY have the real money.. Teenagers have no money and are not reliable. I have sold to younger ones, trust me on this.. 3. We don't want to become billionares.. Just hundred thousandares.. We don't need to compete with the big guys.. Just have this niche covered.. Classic games.. 4. They will not take up the bandwidth like the new games, so we don't need these mega server systems.. Its "efficiency" man.. We can't compete with the big guys, so we don't try.. We just take a niche where we can make a lot of money on..
ALSO, check this out.. Older people have no problem paying $9.95 a month.. Younger ones do. Further, we have less costs on our end than these big guys have, as they are hosting new games, which cost more, take up more bandwidth, etc.. I think games that were hits back in the old days.. A handful of hits and a bunch of the others.. We just need maybe 5 to 10% hits.. The rest can be for the numbers and variety.. Whats your thoughts.. OH.. by the way.. I started my subscription website like 2 or 3 days ago.. ALREADY i have 4 subscribers and I am not even going at quarter power.. I have still a bunch of loose ends to complete.. I think I can get 1000 subscribers to my powerseller website in a years time.. That will be $5.95 x 1000 a month.. Imagine if we had 2,000 or more on the classic games at
$9.95! Sincerely Tony

Bigpond a major broadband dealer in Australia offers for 9.95 a month a
subcription service to get many full version games including games like "age
of mythology", "Command and Conquer Generals" etc many of there games are
less than 2 years old so this is very hard to compete with but still a good
idea. If we hosted software with open source it would almost be criminal to
charge and in many cases is. Royalty free software is a good idea perhaps,
we could expand to movies, pictures etc as these are quite cheap to purchase
often with full resale rights.
