I wrote them an email today and got a quick reply. They are only interested in free to play games for mobile.

How about putting a free version of a game there for advertising purposes. They can always buy the full version elsewhere. Sooner or later GS will come around to selling paid versions too...

I wonder what the catch is. I wonder if the compensation is worth it.

I don't like crowdsourcing. This /seems/ to be a form of it where they dangle a carrot and you end up doing more work than it's worth.

You probably have to integrate a lot of their API stuff for FTP and other Kong stuff. It sounds like they are paying people to add that (at least for enough games to get going).

They are certainly not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They are sharks looking for easy prey.
