Startup Idea #23: Game models

Updated 29 Dec 2007
Why are we not seeing the various interesting business models and innovation happening in music being applied in the games industry? This means a ripe area of startups.

One I can think of straight away is the network model such as Lala.com. We can offer an upfront small payment to game developers to convince them to release their games for free on our network. We then ride on other sources of revenue to recover our costs. These sources include: figurine printing, merchandise, mobile wallpapers, et al. The value add is inter-connect all these different sources of revenue into a one click software.

Dropped the previous idea as I found out there are already existing services out there, specifically brandpulse and blogpulse.
