Doujin games, better access?

(tags game, PC, shmup, doujin, Windows, ECsite)

I was having those random idea sessions when making breakfast.

I should post about the latest doujin shmup-tendancy games I bought and stacked. I should actually play those games I bought (considering there's about 5 doujin games I picked up in the last 3 months). I sure have a tendancy to buy stuff that I want to brag about. That's elitist.

Let's not be elitist.

(obviously at this point the random idea session took root at the keyboard)

How can we make doujin games more accessable to other people in this Internet age?

What if we could have a PC experience where software makers can trust their programs and content will not be copied?

What's up with this Windows Vista and Trusted Computing? How can doujin game makers leverage this new tech to freely get sell their wares on the Internet, bypassing the middleman and limited location problems? The tech will have to lock me out of copying the game freely. Basically it's the copy protection battle again. I would have to accept hardware that does not let me "do what I want". I accept hardware like that all the time like game consoles, DVD players, iPod, PDAs, etc. So my tolerance to this kind of system is not nil and definately not low.

Okay, so will it be easy to for doujin makers to just enable "no-copy" on their digital goods? Will this system do away with having to customize digital goods per receipient on the content makers side? What is required for that?

Would a system like that have to involve behavioral certification (Microsoft Logo) or presence certification (digital certificate service like Verisign)? Who will review the games or makers? Why is this type of centralization and auditing frightening to me?

Maybe I should start reading up on Trusted Computing and how it will affect my PC hobby. But in the mean time, here please look at these doujin games and lust:

(imagine a picture of a bunch of games in CD cases of which I bought in the last 3 months)

Just kidding.
