Yeah but this is unfortunately something more than that. Platform changes have been very painful recently and might be about to get worse.

  In what sense is less traffic on lame social network games "unfortunate"? Seems like a net positive for humanity to me. :-)

    That's because you consider yourself some sort of arbiter of taste. What you categorically dismiss is enjoyed by hundreds of millions of people who spend billions on it. The ads bought by game makers are the reason Facebook is now profitable. They probably account for most of its revenue already and will probably be the vast majority of it going forward.

      You run a social gaming company, so it's obvious why you feel that way. For most regular people they can be very annoying. Anything that makes games on Facebook less of an annoyance is probably a good thing in the long run, for Facebook anyway.

      Ouch dude, that's way defensive. It has nothing to do with taste. It has to do with Zynga providing incredibly shallow gameplay solely optimized for virality and addiction. It's not entertainment, it's a money grab. If you can't see that and you feel the need to shout down any opinion along those lines then you may not have the stomach to succeed in the social gaming market...
