"Your peers are together often, able to play local multiplayer games, and giving you a false sense of market."
Well this sounds like fun. Like the old social arcade experience, but made of people playing fresh indie multiplayer games. Even in prototype form.
Why not make THAT a business model? If my town has a little cafe with a few bit screens and controllers, and every night (or even once a week), I could turn up with a bunch of gamers and were all playing novel small games together, that could be really fun.
The games could be in varying stages of completion. It wouldn't matter. Because it'd feel like an intimate setting of people just hanging out and socializing and playing things.
