Social Gaming Roundup: Japan, Spil Games, Disney, & More

Social Developers Aide Japan — With the devastating earthquake, subsequent tsunami in Japan, many social developers are doing what they can. To start, Zynga has partnered with Save the Children for its Japan Earthquake Tsunami Children Emergency Fund and has donated $1 million through virtual goods purchases from FarmVille, CityVille, and FrontierVille. The totals were reached in 36 hours.

Playfish is also donating through EA Sports FIFA Superstars. Working through Mercy Corps, who are working with their longstanding partner, Peace Winds Japan, the company is donating 100% of all direct donations or revenue from virtual goods purchases — “Japan Elite Transfers” — in game.
