    Real Arcade usually gets the number 1 ranking in the casual games industry. However, I have a suspicion MSN Zone.com and Yahoo Games now outsell Real.

    Anyone have similar suspicions?

    If Google's "Don't be evil" means they give 70% of the profit per sale to the developer, I'm all for it! :)
