Google+ Games More Profitable for Developers, Less Exciting to Consumers

Share:

Do we really need another version of Angry Birds?

I tell you, by the time Rovio gets around to developing a sequel to its hugely popular puzzle game, we'll have seen and/or played the original on 100 different platforms. Now the game is on its way to Google+ (NASDAQ: GOOG).

Hurray?

Not quite. Everyday consumers can yawn through this announcement. Developers, however, should take note of the fact that while Facebook takes 30% of revenue, Business Insider is reporting that Google+ will only take 5% from in-game transactions.

That's a wonderful incentive to develop some original games for Google+, instead of simply porting old hens.
