Is It Even Possible for Zynga to Separate From Facebook?

We’ve been hearing a ton of news lately, even on Fox News, about the potential for Zynga to leave Facebook and start its own site. Zynga would have good reason to do so, as their business is right now 100% dependent on Facebook’s application platform. For instance, if Facebook starts to charge mega-sized applications to live on Facebook, Zynga would incur a massive fee overnight. However, thinking about the problem always leads me to ask whether it’s even possible for Zynga to physically remove itself from Facebook.


The big issue here is that all of Zynga’s games are completely dependent on Facebook User IDs as the main registration point for their games.
