The article, at http://news.websitegear.com/...">http://news.websitegear.com/view/173387]http://news.websitegear.com/...[..., says:
Quote:Browser-based gaming innovator InstantAction today announced the availability of its direct-to-consumer online video game distribution service that enables game publishers to embed premium video games anywhere on the Web, including blogs, and social media sites such as Facebook. ...
Using a combination of in-browser, thin-client, and progressive downloading technologies, InstantAction makes embedding video games as easy as embedding a standard video or photo, and at equivalent speeds - in most cases, saving consumers hours of download time. As a result, game publishers can dramatically expand distribution by embedding games online, where gamers' recommendations and invitations are most effective.
The article later says that "The InstantAction embed code will also work on any webpage that allows HTML editing, and supports Javascript and iframes."
My main concern about this new technology is that it will make access to gaming more pervasive online, thus making it much harder for addicted gamers to avoid gaming related images and links. However, at least one Web site that I am confident will not be using this new technology is OLGA!
