Zynga Uses Facebook (!) To Launch A New Platform For Its Games And For Other Developers

Screen Shot 2012-03-01 at 10.57.44 AMIs Zynga going to leave Facebook to start its own site for gamers? Whispers about this have circulated for years, and today we have an answer: yes and no. Yes, Zynga is starting its own site for games. But no, it's not leaving Facebook.At least not for the foreseeable future. Instead, it's launching a new platform designed to house both its own games and ones from other developers. And, you log in with your Facebook identity, and you pay using Facebook Credits.The site, available at Zynga.com, is a social gamer's dream. The types of social channels that Zynga has been testing and refining are all in place. And then some. Instead of just pulling in your Facebook friends, it includes ways to become friends with other people on the site who you're not connected to on Facebook. People who you want to play with, anyway, that it calls zFriends.
