MTV Offers Developers Cash Bonus For Creating Hit Games

MTV Networks’ (NYSE: VIA) Nickelodeon Kids and Family Group’s AddictingGames is going to announce a program designed to encourage developers to make more popular productions. The rewards program will launch sometime in Q3. Over the next 12 months, AddictingGames will reward the developers of the portal’s top 25 games that generate the most plays, ranked by the site, at the end of each quarter. The effort is part of Nick’s goal of adding 75 self-published titles and 600 games from outside developers. Nickelodeon has another way to shower game developers with honor and affection; the MTVN unit will host The Most AddictingGames Awards —working title— next summer. Nick emphasizes that the show is being tailored not for TV, but as a “multiplatform” event, adding that the show is one of the networks top priorities looking ahead to 2009.
