    I just got my new game 'Plush' up on the Mac App Store and the iOS version should be no problem either. The problem has been finding a place to sell the Windows version of the game. I've been rejected by sites like desura and gog because they don't think it will appeal to their customer base.

    I've submitted to a number of other online stores that sell windows titles with little to no response (well, technically it was accepted on indivania, but after encountering an issue and getting no response when requesting support I'll probably pull the game)

    Steam Greenlight seems like it would be wasted time and money (for now).

    Can anyone point me to an online store I can use to sell a casual/family/kid-friendly puzzle game for Windows? Thanks

    (Oh, and I'm trying to avoid direct sales just to avoid all the related overhead, but obviously it may come down to that)

    Check out Jake Birkett's blog. He shares a lot of info about portals and casual games.

    This is what the thread title immediately screamed at me, too.
