As mentioned in the post, it's based on my interview with them.

The Eyeblaster/Realplayer deal is worth noting, Jon, but I think Yahoo being the lead player in the game space (and as the top Net destination site in general) is the crucial factor.

“But Yahoo Games just told me that starting this week, they’re going to host free, downloadable casual games embedded with video ads.”

real arcade has been doing in-download games ads with eyeblaster for over a year now. this is just another case of yahoo jumping on a bandwagon when it’s too late.
