InstantAction - The Future of Online Gaming?
- 2 Comment
I recently came across a website called InstantAction.com. What is Instant Action? It is a web based platform that brings together online gaming, social elements such as; chat and online profiles and it does all this with ease and for web based graphics they are top notch. It has been proven that the casual online gaming market is much larger than the hardcore PC gaming market and I think we will see a lot more services like this in the future. Recently we have also seen announcements from Dice and ID software about free to play online games like Quake Live and Battlefield Heroes.
Publishers are seeing a market in Free to Play, ad supported games. It has come to the attention of game developers and gamers themselves that to compete in the PC Gaming market you need games that are playable across PCs of all types, from low end to high end. I expect we will see more services like this popping up in the near future.

Terbo: Thanks for the input. I think you’re right. The more we work at giving great gameplay without the need for bank-breaking consoles, the more demand there will be for good games.

Steam friends is currently trumping and I think it’s well executed, though there will probably never be free to play content on it. That may give these types of services such as Instant Action a chance
