Google Chrome OS Web Apps Store

1up.com reports that Google Chrome Web Store will be launched in October and online games will be one of its main attractions. “Set to launch this October, the store aims to make a proper marketplace for browser games — one that solves a lot of the issues of games on the web today, from discovery to monetization.”

Google’s game developer advocate, Mark DeLoura, thinks that it’s difficult to find great online games, so Google Chrome Web Store tries to solve this problem by allowing users to rate games and write reviews. Chrome users will be able to install games, which adds shortcuts to the “new tab” page and grants additional permissions to the games.

Not all games will be free, but Chrome users can buy games directly from the Web Store and pay using Google Checkout. Google’s platform will support free trials and subscriptions, while developers will only pay a 5% processing fee for each transaction via Google System.

The Revenue Model – Only 5% Processing Fee From Developers ?

“Amazingly, one of the slides posted by 1up states that the Web Store is only going to take a 5% processing fee from developers for their paid apps, a stark difference from ecosystems like that of Apple, where a 30% fee is taken out” Writes the Chrome Source. They have the screenshot below as proof.
