what does site locked mean?

you can bid on games at http://www.flashgamelicense.com

site locked means the game will only play on the site that hosts it
the game will be made distributable and the site lock removed on the 26th

the last I saw bidding at on this game was in the region of $17000

Protector and DTD 1.5 were sponsored by Kongregate. They have more lenient sponsorship terms than Armor Games and usually allow the developer to sell branded versions after a week. I think AG only does exclusive sponsorships.

I can understand a small site locking the swf , but a large site like ag just isn't cricket. I tried puttinf the swf on my site and I got a message to come back on the 26 when it will be available to all.

not to mention they use cpmstar in game ads so wouldn't it benefit them more to spread the game?

The reasons for site locking a game for a while is:

1. To get the first spot on Google and other search engines for the game name. By getting links and being that it isn't duplicate content.

2. Your the only one that has it so you will get all the stumbles, diggs, etc.
