GadgetInfo - Zynga, the largest game developer on Facebook reportedly preparing to move all of its games from Facebook to the service called Zynga Live. Zynga has even already started the preparation by launching farmville.com site.
This seems to be a part of efforts to end Zynga dependence on Facebook. Until now, Zynga is still vulnerable to rules issued by Facebook.
Last issue, Facebook requires the use of Facebook Credit as the only currency of payment for Zynga and other application developers. Facebook also set 30% fee for every transaction using Facebook Credit.
Quoted from TechCrunch, the relationship between Zynga and Facebook now are more and more heated. Facebook tried to persuade Zynga to sign long-term agreement whereby Zynga remained in Facebook. During the process of negotiations, Facebook seems to be forcing Zynga to sign the agreement.
Besides threatening to close all Zynga games, Facebook had once shut down prior notification to Farmville and other games.
For some Facebook users, a popular game such as Zynga Farmville, Poker and Mafia Wars are an integral part of Facebook. December last year, Farmville game on Facebook registered more than 69 million users.
Some analysts said the Farmville able to attract millions of users because it can be played on Facebook. This game is quite addictive so users will still play it even though Zynga moved it from Facebook. But will Farmville remain as attractive as now?
