Plans from Check with seller Facebook Lose Another Game to Google+
Social networking game designer, Kabam, has announced that it will introducing its new game, The Godfather: Five Families, on the Google+ platform rather than Facebook, which has been its network of choice in the past.
Kabam already has some of its games available on Google+, including Global Warfare and Dragons of Atlantis; however none of those have exclusively launched on the site.
Chris Carvalho, Kabam COO, says ““We’ve found our games monetize very well on the Google+ platform, and their team to be incredibly responsive and willing to get things done quickly and efficiently.”
Google+ will receive 45 day exclusive rights to the game in return for the search giant’s promotion of The Godfather: Five Families. AllThingsD has said “Google has agreed to drive traffic to the game through various marketing techniques. In addition, Google only takes a 5 percent cut of revenues from virtual goods sold inside the game, compared to Facebook’s 30 percent cut.”
Although Facebook can offer game developers an 800 million strong audience, its been suggested that the 30% cut Facebook demand is too much for gamers to stay. Rovio is a prime example of a developer not willing to pay the cost when it launched Angry Birds on Google+ and is still yet to bring it to Facebook.
The Godfather: Five Families is available on Google+ from today.
