Many companies are entering the direct download space, ... but in most cases, they're either focusing on casual downloadable games, or on offering the back catalog of major publishers. It's amazing that casual game publishers can succeed selling games to people who, historically, haven't bought them, but we'd rather try to sell games to people who already buy them. By offering greater exposure to independent games, we'll be introducing gamers to a universe of games they haven't already seen--and that, we think, is the winning strategy.

--and that justifies the fact that we ask for a piece of the retail sale.

It's an issue we've been working on. Every person has to protect their own space, but there's a lot of common sense in moving a security level up into the cloud.

It's a very, very tight space.

I'm looking forward to connecting with the students to be able to share my experiences in space. I think it's very important to encourage the youth of today to dream big and let them know that anything is possible through hard work and dedication.
