how to extort money and do everyone non indie

I guess everyone who works for a living is an extortionist now.

Thanks for writing this, Paul! Useful information.

I was really never a big fan of charging people money in order to obtain the full game.

I had other methods of making money without the need of selling software.

Book Head: could you describe some? Details would help everyone!

I had this strange idea of distriburing freeware games, and then making money off of ad revenues.

I have no clue if this idea has worked or not but certainly I would want to stop commuting to a labor job thats 15 miles away and do that instead.

Also another bizzare idea would be making money while people download your freeware games. Sort of like what TuneSquare used to have.

If anyone wanted to that the admin has to manually veryfy that the content is original before it gets uploaded so the admin and the author of the program can split revenue.

So people don't upload ROMs, warez, or even someone else's work in order to make a quick dishonest buck.

Oh, so you're extorting money out of those poor advertisers. You sellout, you!

I'm a REAL indie. I live in a cabin in the woods, and design games out of rocks, leaves and beaver pelts. I don't charge anyone to play them, and no one does, because that would have a corrupting influence on my art.

Wait a second. How am I typing this? I don't even have electricity, much less internet access!

Well you gotta put ads that the people actually likes on your freeware gaming site. Not just any other random ads that might think that they will work.
