The once very popular search engine and mail service Yahoo! Announced the creation of the Yahoo! gaming distribution network Games Network.
Within its framework, the company announced the release of a package of tools that allows you to implement user authentication in games via Yahoo!. Developers who integrate the SDK of the new network will also have the opportunity to monetize and advertise their projects within the Yahoo! platform.
On the web, the system is not much different from what Facebook or Vkontakte offers: there is a pool with projects that a user who has registered on Yahoo! can play. The games are different – there are both social projects, like KingsRoad, and flash drives.
As for the mobile infrastructure, a fan of Yahoo! when visiting the Yahoo! website Games Network from a smartphone or tablet will be offered to download a particular game published under the new program from the App Store / Google Play.
It would seem not very interesting, if not for one “but”. Yahoo! he assures that he has good traffic. The number of users of the search service is 800 million, half of them are mobile.
Yahoo! Games Network is built on the basis of the game startup Playerscale, which last year Yahoo! I bought it. As part of the new program, the authors of KingsRoad – Rumble Entertainment and the authors of Bingo Blingo – SGN are already working with the company
