| Quote: | So here’s an interesting thing. GamersGate are soon going to be launching an ad-support free gaming service. Details are sketchy at the moment, but there’s a big old timer counting down on their site, and a registration form for the beta on the same page. The blurb says: “GamersGate, the premier digital distribution service for games, today announced the launch of FreeGames, a free-to-play ad supported platform for PC and Mac games. FreeGames allows users to play and enjoy both PC and Mac titles free of charge after watching a short advertisement at the launch of the game. Gamers will be able to have up to five games available for free on their account at any time with the capability to add additional games.”
Hmm! I’ll drop them a line and find out exactly what they’re up to. |

Yeah it'll probably be old ass games or crappy ass games.
Edit: Wait, it says GamersGate will be launching that "soon" but the countdown says 83 days. What the christ, how is 83 days soon.

I'm ok with free games that have ads. I think it's a model that hasn't been properly explored.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

It's out and it's called "VOID" -- I was part of the beta for a while and the beta was infinitely better than what the final result ended up being. The beta gave you about 10 slots with which to add free-to-play games that you could play without strings, but now that the beta is over - you only get ONE slot to start with, though the game selection is slightly better, and you have to watch a 60s advert before each play. You can unlock other slots for TEN THOUSAND blue coins (retail cost of €7.50 so it's not entirely free to play these games)
http://www.gamersgate.com/void-about
You can also "upgrade" your game slots to make them more effective, such as shortening the cooldown time between when you can change the game for a new one, or such as allowing a Buddy to share your game as well. Each upgrade costs several thousand blue coins though and not a single one of the games is worth it. In fact, for the cost of upgrading the slots and sitting through adverts each time you want to play; you could no doubt buy any of these games as they're often budget titles that are on sale almost everywhere all the time. All in all; massively disappointing for the gamer, huge cash-cow for publishers and GG.

TY for heads up. Interesting concept. Too bad the game selection is fairly poor. However there are couple of games I could try, if I was desperate to play something new.

. I don't know why Ubisoft did not continue or anybody else tried that.
