Crushing apps is not a big problem (Zynga still earns more than facebook itself). The problem is we cannot sign an SLA, or have any other contractual relationship with facebook, even though they take a 30% cut or ouf virtual currency sales.
- nl 15y agoZynga still earns more than facebook itself Citation please? I think this was true in 2009, but hasn't been the case for quite a while.
- ignifero 15y agoYou 're right wrt earnings (zynga had $0.85B vs facebook $2B in 2010). Zynga will probably earn $1.8B this year (http://blogs.forbes.com/afontevecchia/2011/03/02/zynga-reveals-profit-and-revenues-as-it-looks-to-raise-500-million/ http://blogs.forbes.com/afontevecchia/2011/03/02/zynga-revea...). I can't edit the previous comment, though. Still, for a company that is essentially a parasite on facebook, the money they earn is staggering. They could even earn a lot more if they used advertising on their games (they stopped using ads in 2010).
