CPUware

Another idea about possible ways of capitalizing on your player base. Fairly simple one too. For the tl;dr haters and #freegamer patrons – I propose gathering computing power of your players’ computers – a resource that they do not fully use anyway – to benefit the project. I will call this “pay with cpu time” scheme cpuware.

That’s probably not very hot news, but Peter Sunde, one of the creator of The Pirate Bay, is creating something called flattr. The name is obviously a portmanteau of flatter and flat rate. It is a “social micropayments” system in which consumer can pay a monthly flat rate (probably of his own choice) and have the system distribute this money among musicians, podcasters, bloggers, programmers and other content creators of his choice – possibly even game makers.
