Hm! It would be interesting if Conitec licensed their technology to Atari, who in turn set up something to compete with Garage Games-- offering the design tools, engine and community paired up with an online sales and distribution system.
I've always admired this about GG's deal (except the huge cut that they take).
So this might be good news for indies, hm especially if they port and try to make some kind of cross-platform online sale system.. (doubtful of that part though)
