Guerrilla is a broadband platform for direct software delivery and content management. It allows indie game developers to publish their games with little to no cost, while simultaneously distributing their games to hundreds of users. What is in it for the gamers? The ability to access games from any PC that can connect to the Guerrilla network; not to mention the lower cost of games, due to the game developers’ virtually non-existent publishing costs.

How Does It Work?
Indie game developers will contact the Guerrilla staff, requesting their product be hosted. After the product is reviewed by the staff, it will be hosted by the Guerrilla server. After this is done, gamers will be able to purchase the game for a set price. Once the game has been paid for, the Guerrilla client will begin downloading the game. Upon completion of the download, gamers can play the game anytime they wish, with centralized updates distributed seamlessly through the client.

How Does It Make Money?
The Guerrilla network will make money by taking a small portion of the money made from game purchases.

How Does It Differ From STEAM?
The Guerrilla network is essentially the same as the STEAM network, but with one key difference: The developers. In the STEAM network, most of the games are created my large companies who use STEAM in addition to normal publishing methods. The Guerrilla network, on the other hand, is built with the little guys in mind. Most small indie companies cannot afford traditional publishing costs. The Guerrilla network solves this problem by creating an environment where small studios can be exposed to a continuously expanding audience.
