Facebook and Zynga Battle Over Credits -- and Bigger Platform Issues

The relationship between Facebook and the largest social gaming company on its platform, Zynga, has fallen to an all-time low, or so industry sources are telling us.

Zynga had an all-hands meeting last Thursday, where chief executive Mark Pincus told his hundreds of employees that the company might leave Facebook’s developer platform. Instead, it might launch its own social gaming service, called Zynga Live or (ZLive), as TechCrunch then VentureBeat reported.

One big reason may be money.
