User adoption is certainly an important metric, but it would be compelling to see spending habits of legacy users--at 3, 6 and 12 months of play. Evernote mentioned a number of months ago that the probability of users opting in for premium access increases each month.

I'm certain that if Zynga continues with high user RETENTION, entertained users turn into customers, and dedicated users into zealots--thankfully I kicked my Mafia Wars 2 habit before it got out of control.

I'm not totally sure that's true, but it might be. Games have always tended to have lifetimes of entertainment (some longer than others, but even WoW dies off) as opposed to utilities like Evernote. You need to lead the user through an engagement path early in their experience (maybe 2-6 months) but after that...you may just be better off getting them to engage around a new game. The new, shiny hotness is always going to be in demand. Even with microtransactions rather than up-front purchasing.

Zynga is fast moving company that can change whenever the environment demands it to, but I think the casual-Facebook-sim-game is played out. The ville franchise has serious decreasing returns to scale; Zynga is fast moving enough to capitalize on platform changes but if I were them I would try to find a new platform fast.

now they have to prove their mettle :) and of course no one wants to sell to them.. Rovio, Popcap you name it and i dont blame them..

10 million DAU before FarmVille to 70 million by the end of the year...and 50 million to 220 million MAU...completely aspirational for all major players in the field - including the advertisers!

It probably doesn't hurt that Pincus was one of the first investors in FB (forked over 40k at the first Angel round led by Peter Thiel) and is among their top-25 equity holders.

Let me ask this question - their entire business model is based on Flash, correct?


Sheridan Hitchens
No, their entire business model is based on micro-transactions. They typically make their games in Flash, but there's no particular reason they can't use a new front end technology for that at some later stage, if or when Flash penetration decreases.

Andrei Potorac · Top Commenter · CEO/Creative Director at Vuzum
Sheridan Hitchens I'd love to see that happening. I presume you are aware with the current state of other technologies. I find it hard to believe they will be able to transition their games, or any other future games for that matter, in non-Flash version.

Andrei Potorac Flash has nothing to do with their model. It's just the delivery technology used for the apps at the moment.
