Q: How does the download work? Is that a permanent presence on your computer? Because it seems like such a web-based game.
Ben Cousins: It is web-based, but it's too big and too high quality for us to run in a browser and just hold it in memory, so we do an install.
It's very simple, you register as you would for something like Facebook or a forum - a very simple registration process - login, press "play now" and it will download the game. 250MB, it's very quick, and that's basically it.
You can choose where you install it just like a normal PC game, but we think most people will just go for the standard place, and whenever you hit play again it will just launch the game.
So, you have to go to the website to launch the game, but it's a permanent installation on your computer.
