Kongregate has announced it will launch a community-driven downloadable games platform dubbed Kartridge. Kartridge will help game developers of all sizes find success by getting their games noticed and shared with no upload fees.

In contrast to platforms such as Steam, Kartridge gives full control over the merchandising and pricing of games to the game developers, allowing them to customize the experience for their users within the Kartridge ecosystem.
