Zinga - Reportedly Facebook to make a push into games 

- The Information The first suite of apps that Facebook announced for Messenger were all for lightweight communication: sending people emojis, sound clips, gifs and the like. Now, almost two months into the launch of the Messenger platform, the company is ramping up its interest in games, regarded as stickier and higher revenue apps more likely to draw interest from people.

Facebook is in active conversations with game developers about the platform, according to three people briefed on the plans, although the company hasnt laid out any definitive timeline for when games will be introduced into the Messenger app store. Ilya Sukhar, the executive at Facebook tasked with leading the product side for Messengers platform, confirmed the discussions but did not give any date on when they might roll out.
