Nice initiative. I was sure some major online publisher would come up with a gaming service like this, but it came sooner than I thought. Yeah Facebook has had games and there've always been browser games, but I presume this is something more.

It'll be interesting to see how high profile games will appear to the service, or are they just indie level at best. Either way, I won't complain about free games, even if they want me to be online. After all, I haven't paid anything for them. Somewhat like watching free movies with commercials on TV.

Free ad games have been reality in e.g. Android devices for a long time already. At least there I don't really mind the ads, hopefully they will not be more intrusive in this service either.

Pirates are going to pirate no matter what you do. However, during the beta I tried some of the Void games and discovered 3 I would not buy, even though I was curious, and a couple I bought after trying them there. I

Speaking for myself and assuming that at least a few others are the same, I simply don't seek cracked or otherwise illegal copies as demos. But that's me. And I do understand why others take that option, though I hope they stick with their rhetoric on the matter and not simply keep the games without later purchasing them.

At the very least, it'd be nice if the "free with ads" concept leads to some numbers-tracking of the try-before-you-buy issue, to give the industry the idea that there are a number of folks who WILL buy if they like the "demo" run.

well from what I have seen of the IGN preview, you start with a slot for ONE game. You then have to sit through 2-3 ads for the game after it is installed. The game stays available for download for two weeks after which I assume the slot frees itself. A second slot (and more features like ebing able to get 2 game from same publisher) are paid for in blue coins ($10 will get you the second slot. The ads also opened the browser. I haven't removed any games from my slots to see what happens if they are removed
