The world’s largest social network has announced an extremely unusual service that risks becoming one of the leading app stores in the future. With its help, users will be able to download applications to their own, including mobile devices, and developers will be able to promote their own projects more successfully. 

Every day there are fewer and fewer companies in the mobile games market that firmly adhere to the paid distribution model. Most of them have either already transferred, or are transferring their projects to the “shareware” type of monetization. However, one of the authors of Ticket to Ride claims that this is nothing more than a fashion that will soon pass. 

CrowdStar was one of the first studios to gain success on Facebook back in 2009. But, as you know, times are changing. Yesterday, the company announced that it was leaving Zuckerberg’s social network in order to focus its attention on developing games for mobile devices. 

During the renewal of the IPO application, it became known that in the first quarter of this year, Zuckerberg’s social network earned more than $ 1 billion. 

According to Michael Oiknine, director of Apsalar, for the Catholic Easter, already held on April 8, the cost of attracting a mobile user was a record $6. 

Facebook Instagram social network announced that it is buying the Instagram photo service for about $1 billion in cash and shares. 

Apparently, having given $ 180 million for OMGPOP, Zynga will soon have to fork out another $30 million bonus to the company’s employees. 

The founder of CrowdStar explained in his interview why it is now better to work in the mobile market of social games than just in the social market. 

Amos Laber, an independent developer from Toronto, shared his thoughts on working on mobile games and porting them to various platforms on his blog. 

According to the latest data, Android-based mobile devices are used more often to access Facebook than iOS-based devices. All thanks to the high sales of smartphones on Google’s OC.
