The core of what our site is about is this community, and showcasing the best independent games. I talk about this in more detail in this interview on Gamasutra: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=13231

The “share games” option is something that we’re planning on – the reason we haven’t done it already is that our developers may not expect that uploading a game to Kongregate means it can appear on MySpace and other sites as well.

We’ll address that with an opt-out box, most likely.

As to TC’s point – we’re not one of the sites that steals Flash games. We make sure that the games are uploaded by the original creator. Since the volume of games is much lower than what YouTube gets, we can do this pretty effectively.

Kongregate seems to add to the problem.

Finally, as Blake mentioned the market for users creating their own game is tiny. People aren’t too likely to pick up a computer, Flash 8 and then turn out a game in 10 minutes… Or even 10 days.
