Google recently unveiled details for their long anticipated Chrome Web Store and Chrome OS. Running within the newest version of Chrome, the Web Store supports several popular social games and the OS will work on notebooks, with Verizon providing the dataplan.
“People want to get paid for their apps, but they don’t want to trust a small, independent developer,” said Sundar Pichai, Google VP of Product Management. “That’s one of the problems we wanted to solve with the Chrome Web Store.”
Certain browser-based games are available for the platform like Plants vs. Zombies, BurgerTime Deluxe, FarmVille, and RuneScape. EA is also supporting the platform with titles like FIFA SuperStars, Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online and Madden NFL SuperStars, with Pogo-branded title Poppit built-in to every browser.
“We were able to convert into a state-of-the-art HTML5 web app in less than 48 hours,” EA COO Schappert said at the event. “It’s blazing fast. It’s simply the fastest Poppit we’ve made.”
