"An ugly MySpace page is interesting because your friends are on it." Exactly! :-) We believe people will want to play their friend's games just like they want to see their friend's MySpace page. The reason they got into MySpace in the first place is because they could express themselves through the layout of their page.

You can't tell from the video, but the social aspects are really big. It's about making, sharing, and playing games with friends.

This isn't for people who know flash. This is drag and drop game creation. They might have solved a really hard problem here.

This could do for games what Dreamweaver and FrontPage did for web authoring - sweet!

"A bad game your friend made is still just a bad game."

I don't think so. I've been doing games for a lot of time and in the amateur game dev communities, users tend to like simple and sometimes bad games that are made by their community friends.
