It exposes me to games I would never have thought to come across. It permits trials of games before committing to buying. It permits access to great games that are already out of print and/or are hard to source. It expands my game library well beyond my level of affordability, shelf space, and frankly attention span.
I totally agree with you and I have myself found many interesting games by just wondering around BGA. What I'm saying is that's not the target use for this platform. I think it partly comes from the licenses and some of my the problems I listed are rooted in there that BGA is not usually allowed to change the games so that leaves the game sort of hostile for new players and that has lead to this thinking. My source id BGA studio guidelines and documentations how games should be developed into this platform. For example https://www.slideshare.net/boardgameare ... guidelines

I'm sorry that this is a bit off topic, but wanted to say / clarify my previous message anyway.
