Facebook April Game Rankings released: Farmville still first

Facebook April Game Rankings Beijing time May 6 afternoon news, according to foreign media reports, Insidesocialgames.com today released the April Facebook Game Rankings, with 18 games each month reducing the number of active users to varying degrees, and another 5 games recently on the list. The largest number of users of farm games Farmville April lost a large number of users, the number of active users of the month reduced by more than 4.4 million.　　The following is an analysis of the list: in the rankings published in early April, the number of active users in the 25 games of 14 in March was reduced, mainly because Facebook cleared third party notices early in March-many developers relied on the channel to keep customers. In April, developers experienced a more severe user churn. Many games in the list have a significant decrease in the number of active users per month. Of the top 25 games, the number of 18 gamers has decreased in varying degrees.　　The reason for the decrease in the number of users in addition to the above clear third-party notifications, but also include Facebook platform performance issues. Still, the social-gaming industry is still growing, with 5 new games coming into the list in April, including the Treasure Isle, a recently popular game by Zynga.　　It has not yet been clear whether the number of users of these 5 games or other growing small games is being attracted by the spread and advertising of the games, or because new organic growth is beginning to emerge. Facebook and the social gaming industry need some kind of organic growth to help the industry survive.　　For Facebook, these games can appeal to users to return to the site and make the site more interesting, and Facebook may also benefit from these games with its newly launched virtual currency. In recent years, the rules of Facebook have affected the interests of game developers many times, but then the game developers will be able to rebound, become more powerful, this should not be broken.　　If Facebook thinks its policy tweaks are too much of a hindrance to the quality of social gaming that attracts users, we expect Facebook to look for new ways to get developers to sell.　　The following is a specific analysis of several popular games: the largest number of users of the farm game Farmville April lost a large number of users, the monthly number of active users reduced by more than 4.4 million, but with 78.4 million months active users, Farmville still sit in the first place.　　The number of Texas Holdem Poker, also developed by Zynga, has risen slightly by 100,000, surpassing the restaurant's "Coffee World", which lost 2.6 million users in April.　　Most prominently in the form is Zynga's latest "Treasure Island", which has increased its number of active subscribers by 2.2 million, winning the fifth place on the list, Mafia Wars. Crowdstar's "Happy Aquarium" (Happy Aquarium) also slashed 4.2 million users, and the popularity of virtual aquarium games has been dropping, although the happy aquarium still surpasses Zynga's similar game FishVille, 8th place.
