Facebook is losing games, too. Are games just a bad fit for social networks?
I recently posted a story about games dropping out from Google+: https://plus.google.com/113117251731252114390/posts/JVhD2ebMG8E
It turns out Facebook is losing game developers, too. The most recent is the German social games developer Wooga, which announced that it will stop devoting resources to building games that play on the social network. They're going to focus on iOS instead.

Which raises the question: Are social networks just a bad platform for gaming?
