Bitfighter... Steam...

Combine the two?

If you don't know, Steam is like iTunes for games. It's run by Valve who made stuff like Counter Strike, Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2. There's a great selection and other stuff like chatting and achievements and such. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm sure it would be a great way to get extra players, especially with the free price tag and Mac & Windows compatibility.

The Wikipedia article states that there are over 1100 games and 25 million user accounts (there are always 1.5mil+ online). Assuming I did my math right, that's roughly 227,000 games per person.

OK, so we wouldn't get 227,000 players, but I'm sure we could snag quite a few. Nothing to lose...

Sent their distribution address an e-mail. I don't know how they deal with free software...or if they do it at all...or if it costs the developer to list a game...or anything...but I sent an e-mail inquiring.

I think you mean 227,000 players per game?

Also, good idea.

No response from them yet. Not sure I'm expecting one, but it hasn't been long. I'll send another e-mail with more info next week if I haven't heard back...or maybe I'll try to dig up a phone number.

Yeah you're right. And I definitely did my math wrong. I think it's actually 27,000 players, and that's considering that everybody sticks to just one game.
