Facebook: No One's Playing On Google Plus Yet

Facebook Director of Game Partnerships Sean Ryan points out that Google Plus has to price its game stream at five percent because no one's playing yet.

At a recent press event, Facebook Director of Game Partnerships Sean Ryan had some choice words for Google Plus, his new competition in the social gaming landscape.

He said Google has the right to emulate aspects of Facebook’s system but Facebook just needs to be better.

Ryan argued Google’s entrance into the casual gaming market at a much cheaper commission was like McDonald’s recent efforts to offer premium coffee, competing in the same space as Starbucks.

That may have been the wrong comparison since McDonald’s has done quite well in that market.
