Hey all, I picked this up on gamasutra.com today:
VoIP Firm Skype Prepares Game Channel
And the news page above links to:
Skype Game Channel page on easybits.com
Seems like it might offer some interesting potential although I’m still not 100% clear on what “game” technologies it will support and how it goes about that. I’ve of course sent an email asking for more details but I thought I’d point it out as Skype has millions of users (approximately 200 million according to the gamasutra.com article above!) and they’re already well prepared to handle DRM, billing, etc. for that audience.
Just a heads up on another potential game distribution channel. I’ll post any updates I have to share if/when I hear back from the folks at EasyBits.
