New York - Verizon announced on Monday that it has acquired an equity stake in Super Computer International, a provider of equipment and services for online video games. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The companies are developing an online game browsing and messaging platform called PlayLinc, whose features will include IM and VoIP, server browsing, team management, buddy tracking and player invitations. "The platforms we are devising will reset the standards and expectations of online game players while simplifying and accelerating their ability to build highly customizable gaming communities and personalized social networks," said SCI CEO Jesper Jensen. Verizon and SCO plan a public beta test of PlayLinc this summer, and will then make the platform available to other gaming providers.
