    What's your take on flipping Flash games?

    A couple days after Bush got a-shoe-sinated, some guy in the UK made a game which you throw a shoe at bush and try to hit him.

    He sold the site 3 days later for 5,125 pounds ($10,000). Just makes me think, is there a business in flash game flipping?

    What's your take? Any advice?

    That's provided you can develop the game fast and quick + market it.

    Hey,

    lorddan01 - I was thinking about a site with just one game on it, the way the Bush-Shoe-Throwing game is (www.sockandawe.com). It would be flipping a website which comes with rights to the game. No, I do not already have a game website, but I'm thinking about it :)

    savagemp5 - Yeah, definitely. I mean, if today I could develop a game where you fly a plane across the hudson while avoiding hitting geese, I would make it. (Obviously, that would be a bit politically incorrect and I won't make the game though, lol).

    Gldean - Yes, that is a possibility. Either develop a game yourself or buy a game already and flip it for more profit.
