Zynga to Launch Social Gaming Site

Standard

Zynga, the creators of social gaming titles like Farmville, Mafia Wars, Cafe World and others may be looking to split from its primary platform partner, Facebook and are  in the process of establishing their own social network, “Zynga Live”, in order to earn more revenues and also be less dependent on Facebook.

According to All Facebook’s app leaderboard, four Zynga apps are currently in the top ten, including number one Farmville, number six Café World, and numbers eight and nine, Mafia Wars, and Petville. Zynga also makes games for other platforms, including MySpace, MSN, My Yahoo, and the iPhone.

CEO of Zynga, Mark Pincus announced at a meeting at Zynga that Zynga was going to launch a social game network called “Zynga Live”. The “Zynga Live” initiative was a social gaming network. Facebook and Zynga has been negotiating on Facebook Credits and the talks turned for the worst. In the negotiation process, Facebook shut off Zynga’s feeds and threatened to shut down games. Zynga in the process threatened to completely leave Facebook and prepared to do so in the previous upcoming weeks.

The partnership between Facebook and Zynga has been profitable for both companies and is partly responsible for the millions of regular visitors to Facebook on a daily basis who just use Facebook to play social games.
