In this week’s episode of The GigaOM Show, we chat with Jim Greer, CEO and co-founder of Kongregate and Jameson Hsu, co-founder and CEO of Mochi Media about monetizing casual games.

According to some estimates, casual gaming is the fast-growing segment that accounts for about 10% of the $30 billion global video game industry.
