All Facebook users, I’m sure that you’ve already played a facebook game.
Yes! Those colorful games in which you manage a restaurant, you have a fishbowl or you have to take care of a pet. The fact is that those games give lots of money to their creators.
Lastly, a good way to earn easy money on Internet is the Flash empire. A lot of money is won creating a good and addictive game and uploading it in some portal that shares the revenue. Well, now social networks are becoming a good way to make money too!
I’m sure you know them. I’m talking about the objects, common on all facebook games, that have to be paid with real money. This money goes almost directly to the developers of the game (but a part goes to the Facebook creator). Furthermore, the developers also win money from the ads around their game.
That’s why they are interested in that we have to enter so many times! Yes. That you’ve to wait 12 hours for your fish to grow it’s NOT a casualty or a caprice. It’s because you will NOT wait 12 hours in front of the game, and what you will do is close the game and visit it again 12 hours later. And that is what developers are interested in, because the money gained by ads around the game, is increased every time someone enters the game!
What can we learn from this? Well, if you’re a facebook player you will learn that those long waits for continuing to play a game (in Vampire Wars, for example, you regain blood [necessarily to realize any action] every hour) it’s not a casualty. If you’re a facebook developer (or you want to be a facebook developer), you’ll learn that for gaining more money, you have to add into your game this long waits system, and people will enter lots of times in your game.
