Thanks for the feedback! My idea for messaging is to play off the unity of messaging, gaming and forums together in 1 place.

My business idea is not that I'll be a game studio, for now I just want users to use my users. Once I have say, 1 million users, I'll try to convert to a more game publisher feel.

And 1 little question, if I let users play games, why would they signup?

Answering that question is really the core of designing this service, isn't it?

I have signed up for game sites before, sites that let me play and invest my time and attention in a game - I created accounts with those sites to save my progress. There have also been cases of making an account to access multiplayer features in games I beat the single player campaign for.

The real key is the games.
