7Seas Technologies Ltd. is launching an online gaming portal with 100+ games based on Indian themes and localized for the Indian audience. The portal onlineRealgames.com will be formally launched tomorrow with free registration. Users can play games in 7 Indian languages along with English. For revenue generation, they will rely on licensing revenues from other portals and also in-game advertising. Partnership with Microsoft, mobile operators and other telecom companies is in the works.
Here’s an interesting piece in the story:
“Most of the games revolve around popular Indian countryside scenes such as cock fighting, animal husbandry and hunting.”
