Zynca, the world’s leading provider of
social game services, signed a contract with Facebook in May 2010 which includes
advertising revenue share deals and an agreement to use Facebook currency in
its games.
Yesterday (29 November), both companies
revised this contract. The changes include Zynga no longer having to display
Facebook advertisements, and Facebook will no longer be the only social
platform for Zynga, which means Zynga can now launch games on mobile or its own
platform.
A notable change is that from March
2013, Facebook will be allowed to develop its own games. Until now, Facebook
has shown no interest in creating games. In fact, Facebook plans to spread the
business more evenly to other developers such as Wooga and King. Therefore,
Facebook would alienate game-making companies if it started making its own
games.
However, the legal message is clear:
Facebook can now build its own games.
