How does one get their game into this distribution channel ? Does it generate any meaningful revenue for developers ?

Most of the games seem to be quite a few yrs old, so it makes it seem like it`s either no longer updated, or those curently present games simply are generating enough revenue for Yahoo ?

Looks like all those are retail titles. Haven't spotted a single casual game title there. My guess is they partnered with some large retail distributor.

That`s OK with me - my latest games are definitely more retail than casual. Any idea how to contact them ? I surely won`t be contacted by them.

I heard that Yahoo and some other sites do not work with developers. I think you should contact RealArcade they definitely work with Yahoo.

Give Oberon a call, they'll represent you with those guys.

Actually, Chicken Invaders 2 was just put on RealArcade this week (or was it last week? they all blend together...), so that's a 'casual' title.

Thanks for the tip.

Vlad, they are working through Exent Technologies...;) They do compile a portfolio of casual games
