Before seeing this graphic, I thought I was in the majority. Apparently, Facebook gaming is grabbing more than just the geeks in their mothers’ basement with no significant other in the real world.
The growing phenomenon of social gaming has created 3 camps: those who do it and love it, those who hate it and want it killed with fire, and those who are able to ignore it or don’t even know it exists. This graphic shows that there are a lot more people than most would imagine playing Ravenwood Fair.

yeah facebook games are pointless because as soon as you get far with one everybody drops it and moves on to the next.

i know my friends working at Zynga absolutely love the new wave…
I, personally, think they are almost all awful games.

I don’t even bother with Facebook games. I’m barely keeping up with Facebook sometimes . . .

As much as it in this form, it’s a true fact that social gaming is here to stay.
I think it’s certainly matured over the past 2-3 years as it’s having to compete with mobile gaming but in general the games don’t really appeal to me as they appear mostly as cutesy, create a world sim-like games. With the ever growing popularity of facebook and the amount of users on board, it’s no wonder that there will be plenty of users playing for hours at a time.
