For : focus first on legally cleared content and dependable delivery. Three practical sourcing paths are realistic for a small launch — (1) free/open-source titles, (2) direct deals with indie developers, and (3) formal licensing or affiliate relationships with commercial distributors. Each path avoids the piracy and takedown risk that kills sites quickly.

Open-source and freeware titles can seed the catalog fast. Search curated indie hubs like itch.io and code hosts like GitHub for projects with permissive licenses. Verify license text, request written permission when unclear, include proper attribution, and host installers or builds on a scalable object store (for example, Amazon S3). Automate malware scanning (for example, ClamAV), publish checksums, screenshots, system requirements and changelogs.

For unique content, negotiate simple developer partnerships: one-page distribution/royalty terms, reporting and payment cadence, and a developer intake workflow (upload portal, automated scans, versioning). For commercial games, approach publishers or authorized distributors and insist on a formal distribution agreement or use official affiliate programs for retail keys rather than mirroring links.

Technical and legal checklist before launch: written distribution rights, DMCA/takedown process, EULA/privacy terms, secure hosting/CDN, signed download URLs, virus scanning, backups, analytics, and payment/VAT compliance. Start with a small, curated MVP catalog plus editorial pages (screenshots, short reviews) to build search visibility and trust. This expands on points from by turning broad monetization ideas into concrete, low-risk sourcing and delivery steps.

1. For simple and common games give free download for the users.
2. Fix some dollar to download your games and don't forget to give a free trial to complete at least level 1.
3. Create unique game and publish in facebook, nowadays more users are there to play games, and you have the control over all the users of facebook. (That make them adict to the game to purchase for levels)
4. Post your add by sponsoring some of the sites.
5. Initiate it and sure you will become the master of games website.

Hope it helps!

If the other website link will be a free download then you can give a link to download the same, but if it is copyright you should only give a way to download a free trial from there, what make sense?. Just you are going to give a list of links to download games from other website. one more option, you can ask the user to publish their games into your site like facebook do.
