Arriva Platogo

A metà tra il casual game e il social network. Almeno questa è la descrizione. Il nome del sito è Platogo. In sostanza si può giocare, creare ulteriori livelli di gioco e condividerli. Ecco le prime battute della pagina che descrive il servizio:

Platogo is a social gaming network, and is the first platform to apply the Web 2.0 paradigms of user-generated content and strong community focus to browser-based gaming in a way that's attractive to gamers and developers alike.
The range of options available to gamers sets Platogo apart from its competitors. Users can play alone, with or against each other; they can measure their performances against other players; they can rate games and individual levels, comment on them, post them or recommend them onwards. Users can also create and share their own levels: in racing games, for example, they have the opportunity to build their own courses.
Users are thus encouraged to help advance games, and to grow from pure consumers into actual content producers. The number of quality games and levels available can grow indefinitely through an interactive community that is a virtual meeting point with its own momentum.

Per gli sviluppatori si tratta di una vetrina e di una nuova occasione di guadagno.

Game developers also gain significantly because Platogo offers them the optimal platform for their games as well as appealing revenue shares. Revenue is driven by sales to users, e.g. in-game items or features via microtransactions, and by multiple advertising options on the website and inside games. Developers also have their own profile pages, allowing them to connect quickly and directly with their audience.
