Facebook Adds In-App Subscriptions

Facebook is getting rid of its in-app credits currency and moving to an in-app subscriptions based model beginning in July.

In a blog post on the social network Facebook’s Prashant Fuloria explained that payments will now support local currencies of the user. He writes: “Since we introduced Credits in 2009, most games on Facebook have implemented their own virtual currencies, reducing the need for a platform-wide virtual currency. As a result, we are updating our payments product to support pricing in local currency (ex: US dollar, British pound and Japanese yen) instead of Credits.”
