I'm speaking of the little games they had on Gleemax Games. GameTable Online, not Atari (there's no reason why they should be exclusive to any one game developer or bound by HASBRO's licenses), developed their online strategy games. So that WOTC can focus on their DDI and M:tG III projects, they are letting GameTable Online host their games for free. Besides those they have already handed over (including digital A&A), they have 2 or 3 more games in the works that will also be handed over.

Here's the first announcement:

The article says that it's paid for via advertisements, I guess I missed that the first time, but then I've always been kind of slow on how that pays for video game development and turns a profit. I guess sense GTO does the actual development, it's pretty much pure profit for WOTC and little effort (WOTC still has to design the rules of those games), so just disregard the complaint.

My current view of the OGL: Though accomplishing exactly what it was meant to do, it is flawed for not providing WOTC more latitude.

My current view of the GSL: section 2 and subsections 6.1, 11.1, and 11.3 need to be completely rewritten to protect the licensee from abuse, but the rest of the GSL is commendable and provides loss leader dynamics superior to the OGL, as the point to being a loss leader is pointing the community toward the loss leader.
