Facebook's Director of games, says Google+ has “no users”


Speaking to Facebook's Director of games partnerships Sean Ryan, a leading broadsheet was told that Google + has 'no users'.


Speaking to The Telegraph Sean Ryan said that Google + had 'emulated' many of the aspects of Facebook which was fine, but that doing so wouldn't help them off the ground.

The Director of games partnerships also lashed out at Google's financial plan concerning revenue sharing with game developers, while Facebook takes 30 per cent, Google only chooses to take 5 per cent which is apparently because they have 'no users'.

These claims do somewhat differ with the statistics which show that Facebook took 10 months to reach a million users, while Google + has managed 25 million in less than half that time. With the casual gaming market set to reach a value of $20.3 billion by 2014 and with Angry Birds and other games heading to Google + Zuckerberg's company may have to up its game.
