I meant the curation: however, it's interesting that you bring up the Humble Bundle, as I was considering going that route as well.
There are multiple takes on the idea: one being more of an index of high-quality games/apps, and the other being a HB-style sale (which of course, would contain only high-quality apps).
As a consumer, which would you prefer?
- benologist 13y agoI prefer the bundle style because it's more serendipitous for me, I only have to like one game for it to be worth it, and I only have to check once a week or whatever to see if there's a new one. As just an index you'd have a harder time monetizing it but it would be shitloads easier to do - Amazon will do affiliate links but you won't get anything for Play referrals, that leaves you with just ads which only works with lots of traffic. One thing that I thought would be quite awesome a while ago is if you could hijack a subreddit and let them power recommendations for you - get people to include "#whatever" in the submission title to nominate a game, use votes for ranking, and largely automate it. If you can get legitimate participation and interest that would be really, really interesting and you can incorporate meta-votes in comments as well, like #sale or #towerdefense or whatever.
