just click on the link and start playing.<\/p>\n<p>The main problem with HTML5 games is that their distribution market is too fragmented.\u00a0Developers have to carefully optimize their projects for whatever application they run in.\u00a0Doing this is very problematic, and therefore Google decided to implement the GameSnacks platform in its applications &#8211; it is enough for developers to optimize games for it so that they work in programs from the &#8220;good corporation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-124105\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-123.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-123.jpg 377w, https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pasted-123-217x460.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On Chrome, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gamesnacks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">gamesnacks.com<\/a>\u00a0gaming platform\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gamesnacks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">is<\/a>\u00a0accessed through the Top Sites icon and the Games section, which displays to residents of India, Indonesia, Nigeria and Kenya on a blank new tab page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-124106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/google-dobavlyaet-html5-igry-v-chrome-google-pay-i-google-assistant-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"782\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The payment service Google Pay, which is remarkable, also has a section for games.\u00a0From now on, residents of India can not only book trips and order food through this application.\u00a0The games also became available on Google Discover.<\/p>\n<p>But to play through Google Assistant, the user needs to ask the virtual assistant about it.<\/p>\n<p>Google announced that GameSnacks will become a universal platform for HTML5 games, and the company will soon be implementing it in more of its applications.\u00a0The developers also said that &#8220;they will soon start experimenting with Adsense ad formats in some games from the GameSnacks platform.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[ratemypost]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In February 2020, Google announced GameSnacks, an experimental platform for developing and promoting HTML5 games.\u00a0The company did this in order to test how much such an idea would appeal to residents of countries with poorly developed mobile communications (in which 2G and 3G networks are deployed over most of the territory).\u00a0As practice has shown, such [&hellip;] <a class=\"g1-link g1-link-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/gaming\/gamesnacks-google-adds-html5-games-to-chrome-google-pay-and-google-assistant\/\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10404,"featured_media":124110,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[777],"tags":[779],"class_list":["post-124104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gaming","tag-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
