Why Would a Game from Yahoo Gadgets Ask For Access to My Webcam and Microphone?

I added a little game to my home page from Yahoo Gadgets. While attempting to mute the annoying music, I came across an option box to click off if I did not want the company to be able to access my webcam and microphone. Just what kind of information are they looking for that they need access to video and audio of me using my computer? Creepy is not a strong enough word! Be sure that you look to see how that option is checked when you add these gadgets to your home page. I deleted the game, and I will be checking any others before I add.
