Gaming site worth starting?

[copper]

Hi,

Is there enough income running free flash gaming site?

I see tons of site running with "GameSiteScript" and "GameScripts.net".

Is it worth to start one?

Any member with such site, speak up

well look at it from a user's perspective..

all sites have the samething in common..

can you offer something other sites dont?

if you can answer that question then yes its worth it to put the effort

Bad experience with it, huh?
How was your revenue?
Actually, I am thinking GameSiteScript.

Anyone made positive cashflow?

Thanks,

Lets just say its worth the little extra to pick up another script where you can actually transfer your license if you are planning on reselling your sites or changing domain names.

Phparcadescript's support took a month, yes I said month, to give the ok to transfer my license to another domain name of mine. Too bad their system does not use a real license system so my site was up and running before they gave "the approval". Not to mention they were supposed to release a new template months ago.

Save the hastle and get one of the other two larger ones out there. Support is better and script is written more professionally.

Thanks

well honestly

starting an arcade site is so cheap you might as well do it and i am sure if you dedicate time to it you will make it back and possibly much more!

also yes stay away from phparcadescript

the support is horrible..took me some serious time and nagging before they decided to give attention

I just invested 800$ on a game site will see what happens..

Did you buy existing site or starting new?

I budgeted $1,000 to start new.

 

[KING]

Nah I just payed for coding 800$ got some games for about 70$ ripped off

that is how it is going to look when all done.. I designed it but my programer took a nice 800$ chunk from me

 

[copper]

$800?
For what?
I think that's too much just for coding game site.
Coder at GameSiteScript and GameScripts Forum can do
it for about 100 - 200, $400 if you need special coding.

Your design looks great, though

I know its too much but its late now
He will program area so visitors must register to play, newsletter, Amazon store and so on..

 

[adill420]

wow..thats still a lot..i paid $180 for licensed script, nice nice design and an ok domain..last 15 days i averaged about $50/day

i got a few unique things going on though...i think thats the catch..

 

[darrenl]

I think its worth it if it is a custom created.

There are so many game sites out there, 90% of them with the same games. If you have something new to offer go for it, otherwise it will just be another site amongst thousands.
