So far we've focused 100% on the creation side of things, but we're absolutely interested in helping people on the marketing side too.

Something we've discussed here is; since it's an online platform, could it be possible for creators to form communities around their games as they are being built (even more than now), with perhaps features to engage your community around what you create (imagine that your players can comment on things in the game as they play test it, for instance). This is quite speculative for now, but it's something we're interested in exploring.

Same issue - who is going to play it?

There are many indie games that never got made, lots of iterations of the current hotness (the Vampire survivors era may almost be over?)

People still play CS:GO. People still play The Sims. There are an infinite number of alternatives.

Professional game devs will talk about marketing because thats the problem when it comes to selling games.

The alternative is to make game creation fun - which then gets you to Roblox territory. Have people make games and share them quickly with each other.

That's the plan :-)
