While we’ve covered why game developers should attend InterPlay, I’ll ask the question from the other side - why should Facebook application developers attend? Here’s 5 reasons:
1. Games engage and retain users. A lot better than most applications do. Learn more about how to make your application keep your audience glued.
2. Good games are hard to design. See 1.
3. It’s a good time for social game developers to raise money. Have you heard about the rounds SGN, Zynga, and Serious Business raised?
4. New people are playing games for the first time on Facebook. Find out who. (Hint: it’s not your 16 year old cousin staying up all night)
5. Games are just more fun. Who wants to work when you can bite more chumps?
Look forward to seeing you all there!
