[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 7647840, member: 82106"] This is what I meant when I mentioned Steam earlier. That's the thing about it. You can play a VAST number of games there, buy them instantly, find players, and be part of a community all in one seamless package. I think for TT RPGs it needs to transcend any one publisher or title too in much the same way. Everyone that has even the slightest awareness of any video games that can be played MP knows about Steam, and is likely to even have an account. There are other services too, but you just don't get the same effect when it is too balkanized. With all the titles being on that one platform it is really easy for people to get exposed to new products. This is also rather true with the App Store model for phones/tablets, people DO find stuff and try it out. You might not get a LOT of brand new gamers, but you'll likely capture the potential ones that show up a lot more effectively if you can show them the whole suite of stuff. [/QUOTE]
