Welcome to Hoot

Hi, welcome to Hoot. My name is Shawn Underwood and I'm one of the founders of Hoot. We appreciate you coming by to see what we're about.
Any Game, Anywhere. That's our motto. More than that, though, it's about freedom. The freedom to play a game you've purchased, on any electronic device that has an Internet connection. Everything in the game world seems to be tied to a platform. You can only play this game on an Xbox 360. That one runs on Windows XP, but not Vista. A favorite casual game is just for Nokia. It's really frustrating. At Hoot, we want to fix that. In the world we want to live in, you buy a game for one platform, and you can play it anywhere. Play it on your laptop out by the pool. Or on a friend's Mac. Take it with you and play it at the bus stop on your phone. You can even play it at work. Not that we would ever recommend you shirk your job. ;-)
At this point, if we were a big company, the lawyers would be all over us. You can't promise any game, anywhere. What about somebody with a TRS-80 living off the grid somewhere in the Rockies. OK, you got us there. But this post is about our dream. We'll talk more about how to make it a reality in the future. In fact, in my next post I'll cover some of our roadmap while we're in this private beta mode. I'll suffice it to say in this post that our first release is for Windows only.
Finally, I'd just like everyone who's using Hoot at this stage to know how much we appreciate you trying our software. We're going to change the world, and we need to start by changing yours. So please use the support center and the issues tracking areas to give us feedback on how it's going and what we need to do next.
Thank you.
