Nintendo showed everyone with the Wii hat casual games can make you money. Then Zynga showed that Facebook is just one big pool of casual gamers.
Now Zynga, the makers of Farmville, is the third largest gaming firm in the industry. That’ nuts considering they only came onto the scene rather recently. Ahead of them are the industries two giants Electronic Arts, the publish of Battlefield and Madden, and Acivision Blizzard, the maker of two games that lay golden eggs: Modern Warfare and WoW (World of Warcraft).
What do you think? Are Facebook games only going to get bigger? Or is it going to die off after everyone’s grandma starts playing — like with the Wii?
