In-Game Web Browser LaunchedNo longer will gamers have to ALT-TAB out to a web browser from within their favorite games; the Rogue browser allows for web surfing from within the games themselves:
GotGame, the company that enables gamers to access the in-game content they desire, today launched Rogue, its highly anticipated web browser.
Gamers spend a quarter of their time in game waiting for teammates to log in or games to load. They want something to do during this downtime, but exiting or minimizing the game means missing critical action.
GotGame Rogue eliminates this waiting game, enabling PC gamers to surf the web via a fully functional web browser without ever leaving their favorite games. Players can navigate to Wowhead to obtain information about items in World of Warcraft, or pull up Hulu to watch movie clips between Counter-Strike rounds; these are just two of the countless options available.
“By offering an excellent in-game web browser, GotGame is unlocking the door for gamers to explore all of their favorite websites, while they play,” said Win Betteridge, CEO of GotGame. “The possible ways that gamers can use Rogue are as broad as the Internet itself.”
In order to use Rogue, gamers simply download the application at rogue.gotgame.com. Gamers can then launch Rogue before or during their game, as they would any other desktop application. By hitting a hotkey, users can overlay the application in their favorite games; the browser will appear as though it were a part of the game itself, without disrupting any in-game functionality.
The application is optimized to impact the gaming experience as little as possible. Gamers can set the browser’s transparency so the entire game screen is still visible, even if the browser is open. This means that they can, for instance, watch online videos overlaying their game at 50% transparency, while at the same time “grinding” for experience in Age of Conan.
