Thanks, Shaz, that was quick!
So if I understand this correctly, I can host my game on BMT Micro and sell it through my own site or any game portal that accepts my submission. Is there any additional cost for this? Could I host both the full game and the demo on BMT Micro?
And speaking of the demo, are you saying that, with such a setup, no one would be able to buy the full game without downloading the demo first? Or simply that, when they click to pay, they're taken to the page where the full game can be purchased, which is accessible to anyone anyway? The demo is just a way of letting people try the game before they buy it, and really doesn't protect the game like a DRM does... is that right?
PS - Is it not a good idea to include "too much of the game" in the demo? I made a demo of my game that's around five hours or longer (the full game is 70+ hours) because I wanted the player to reach a point where more of the game's unique features are prominent (it takes a little while to get to that point).
