I can't find a list of games.

Their last blog entry is from summer of last year. looks like it's not being actively maintained. Better to just take the blog link off the page.

There is some blah blah about community building but almost nothing about product or price. Maybe they are offering three games to play? I can't tell their carousel doesn't work and I can only see three games.

Product and price are the only things that will drive adoption. I like games but the only media I'll ever get my monies worth from a subscription is music, so this isn't really the kind of thing I'd shell out for.

It's not ready for market but best of luck.

Completely agree with this. I like the concept of being able to try out indie games freely and experimenting, but without knowing what I'm getting into there's no way I'm paying for it. It's going to have to be a wide enough selection that it's not worth getting the games themselves DRM free forever from GOG or Humble Bundle. For example for only a little more yearly ($120 (without the discount code) vs $132) you can get ~90 games to keep forever from Humble monthly. The selection would have to include significantly more than that for me to consider renting the games.

Hey Cgod,

Thanks for the feedback! We're working on getting the website to be more where we want it, and it'll include those things. It's good to know that pricing isn't obvious enough!

Price is plenty obvious, I guess I should have said value.

Oh ok! Got it. Thank you!
