ECD Systems announced that the Revolution Games Network has signed dozens of developers from all around the world. RGNgames.com is the industry’s first self-publishing gaming portal and social networking community for game developers and avid gamers. Game developers are invited to join the Revolution Games Network, now in beta testing, which will provide an online, interactive community through which they can develop, share, market and distribute their games.
RGNgames.com developer services will help participants take more control over the business side of game development while enabling them to produce better games. Self-publishing capabilities, which are powered by ECD Systems’ FairShare technology, create a unique, multi-stream revenue sharing business model for developers that encompasses game sales, advertising, merchandising and distribution. As a result, developers are able to leverage the comprehensive marketing services to help them build game franchises, reach a broader audience, sell more games and maximize revenue.
RGNgames.com will allow independent developers to expand their reach to PC gamers, by far the largest audience of any gaming platform. By targeting PC gamers as opposed to gamers using proprietary consoles or mobile gaming platforms, developers are able to cultivate broader audiences with unprecedented reach and ROI possibilities.

This sounds very interesting.. I’m very technical myself and do struggle on the more business related side of the business..
strange that C++ seems very natural and ROI etc seems all so alien :)
