Facebook is one of the stickiest website in the world. Besides social-networking activities, games have been an integral part of Facebook.
Allfacebook created an infographic to illustrate exactly that.
Facebook has over 500 million active users with more than 250 millions users gamers. Out of the 250 million Facebook gamers, 19% of them declared that they’re addicts. Due to the general casual gaming concept, majority of Facebook gamers are women. More than 10% of Facebook users play daily. That is more than the entire population of England!
Undoubtedly, Facebook games are extremely well received. Every click, refresh or second spent on Facebook is equivalent to ad revenue. Most impressively, giant gaming companies, like Zygna, were founded thanks to Facebook’s open platform. In fact, with Facebook huge user base, it could be anything that it wants to be.
