[casual_games] Casual Game Aggregators - Networks Revealed

[Kurt Boutin]

First off, WOW!  what a great resource.  Thanks to you all for putting this
together!

Second, I have a question.  I noticed there were publishers who aggregate to
other aggregators.  Does this trickle down?  For example:

Skill Jam/World Winner appears to aggregate to Trymedia.  Well, Trymedia has
their own list of sites they go to.  If you go to SkillJam, does it
automatically aggregate to the Trymedia sites?

Casual Game Aggregators - Networks Revealed:

It is my pleasure to present a very interesting new resource for the entire
casual games community.

In an effort to assist both independent and established developers and
publishers to have better visibility into where exactly their games are
being distributed and to help avoid channel conflicts, the Casual Games SIG
has solicited the following official network lists from the major aggregator
distributors in the marketplace.

We also invite the community to help us document in perpetuity and
unofficially other distribution points. We have given you a significant head
start here as well - all unofficial sites have been collected through
publicly available, non-confidential sources (Google, footers, etc.).
Important: please read entire instructions before posting. Thanks.

NOTE: These lists are NOT designed to document where publishers distribute
their games - only aggregators distributing to third party websites they
feed or operate in some substantial manner.

A special thanks to the official participants in order of earliest
participation:

- Big Fish Games
- Reflexive
- Scandinavian Games
- iWin
- Skilljam/WorldWinner
- Exent
- Intermix

For those aggregator distributors who chose not to participate initially, we
welcome you to do so now.

Without further delay...
