It is definitely a positive development and Yahoo getting into this gets more credibility to the industry vis-a-vis the US issue.
Companies like Yahoo & MSN have been exploring opportunities to get into the Gaming industry since a few years and now that Yahoo has finally launched it’s product, there must be a strong game plan behind the move.
On a different note, if Yahoo sorts out the software and gets aggressive with marketing, it has the potential to get a huge chunk of the market. The entry barriers to this industry would become stronger than ever.
It would be good to see Yahoo’s policy towards affiliate marketing.
Interesting times…..
