SEC Filing Reveals Details of Zynga's Relationship With Facebook

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday July 19, 2011 @09:22AM from the slash-wars-ville dept.

bizwriter writes with an article in bnet. From the article "An amended S-1 filing for Zynga's eventual IPO offers details of its relationship to Facebook. There's plenty of interesting stuff there in the open, but some partially redacted sections hint at why Zynga is so dependent on Facebook as a channel to get to its market — and why Facebook doesn't deploy its own games." It appears that Zynga is allowed to get away with quite a bit thanks to all of the ad revenue they bring in for Facebook. Who has the upper hand in this relationship?

So Zynga can't put Farmville on Google+.
No Farmville on Google+? If there's a better advertisement/reason than this to switch from Facebook to Google+, I don't know what it is
