\nMajor Japanese mobile gaming social network GREE<\/a> has taken a significant step yesterday: it’s now possible<\/a> [PDF] for third parties to release games on the site (the move was announced back in January<\/a>). Before, GREE offered its almost 20 million users self-developed titles only, meaning the company doubled as a platform and content provider.

\nGREE says it will collect payments from users (for virtual in-game items) and split profits with third parties. With its decision to open the platform, it follows competitors Mixi<\/a> and Mobage-town<\/a> who took the plunge last<\/a> year<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
