Japans GREE To Challenge Facebook And Zynga As Global Social Gaming Platform In 2012
Japanese mobile social gaming giant and Openfeint owner GREE has outlined today its previously announced plan to launch a mobile social gaming network for the global market next year. Details are (relatively) scarce at this point, but the publicly traded company (current market cap: US$7.5 billion) seems to be serious in positioning itself against Facebook Mobile as a gaming platform for smartphones.In the press release, the word "Openfeint" not even appears once. Instead, GREE aims at launching a unified gaming platform that knows no borders: new users and the existing 155 million players on GREE in Japan and Openfeint worldwide will be able to use a single-sign on to register and play together. There will also be a payment system for virtual goods that works internationally and a "a series of robust out-of-network cross promotional opportunities" plus analytics tools for game developers on iOS and Android.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/m_BzRolHPm0/
