YouTube enterting the gaming business
Posted on October 8, 2008 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News
Although YouTube is aspiring to make itself known in the video game industry, the company does not have plans to become a game developer or publisher. Rather, the company is taking steps to become a video game distributor. A new YouTube set up will allow its visitors to buy video games through its website. An Amazon link will be added to some YouTube pages, in which, granted you click, you will be redirected to Amazon to buy the title in an instant. YouTube is looking for that extra revenue push, and knowing how many gamers flock to YouTube, I wouldn’t be surprised if this move assists the company in the end.
