It’s been only a month since Yahoo began promoting its Texas Hold ‘em game and now the search engine is dropping poker altogether effective December 31.
According to the Yahoo webpage, it is no longer offering many of its online parlor games because “changes in supporting technologies and increased security requirements” have rendered the games “incompatible, insecure, and no longer functioning correctly.”
It’s unclear if the game will remerge, but the company on its webpage, says that it will be working toward the launch of new online games with better cyber-security, and these new games may ultimately include a new form of Texas Hold ‘em.
