===Skyworks Technologies=== Following the demise of Absolute, Kitchen and Crane went into business making games that did not require inventory and began developing [[Browser game|games for web browsers]]. Believing that audiences would be too afraid to give out information such as credit cards online, they developed a business model that later became known as [[Advergames|advergaming]] which involved allowing their games to be played for free but licensing them to other companies' websites.{{sfn|Hunt|2010|p=91}} Among the games they developed built and launched [[PCH Games|Candystand]] for The Lifesavers Company. Crane and Skyworks took a percentage of their promotions budget and built a place to play games.<ref name="alumnus">{{cite web|url=http://www.alumni.devry.edu/news-events-alumni/profiles/david-crane.jsp|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100110214035/http://www.alumni.devry.edu/news-events-alumni/profiles/david-crane.jsp|title=Alumnus Profile|accessdate=February 21, 2024|archivedate=January 10, 2010}}</ref>{{sfn|Hunt|2010|p=91}} Crane and company also developed a site similar to Candystand for [[ESPN]]. Crane called this "moderately successful arrangement, only limited by the learning curve of their salespeople who could never quite understand the difference between sponsorship and advertising."{{sfn|Hunt|2010|pp=91-92}} While at Skyworks, Crane designed two of the company's biggest App store sellers with ''Arcade Bowling'' and ''[[Arcade Hoops Basketball]]''.{{sfn|Cowan|2010}}
