The Special Zynga-Facebook Relationship: By The Numbers

Facebook is so dependent upon Zynga that they might as well be sleeping together.

Today’s S-1 filing revealed that Facebook generates approximately $550 million annually through Credits, $375 million of which can be attributed to Zynga.

Additionally, Zynga accounts for a whopping 12 percent of Facebook’s revenue.

Thanks to the filing, Zynga’s stock soared close to five percent in after hours trading.

While Facebook’s revenue streams are sufficiently diversified, it appears that the company is extremely dependent on Zynga when it comes to Facebook Credits.

Many have speculated over the past few years how big of an impact Facebook Credits would have on the overall ecosystem, but today’s filing shed some light on the state of the platform and the virtual goods ecosystem.
