One of the biggest game makers on Facebook, LOLapps, produces popular social games Critter Island, Garden Life, Diva Life, Band of Heroes, Supermodel: The Game, Yakuza Lords and Facebook versions of Dante’s Inferno and Champions Online.
During the Oct 16th weekend, all the games disappeared from Facebook with the page not found message, leaving all players confused and frustrated. LOLapps is telling its users to stay tuned for more information.
According to VentureBeat, Facebook’s spokesman stated, “We have disabled applications from LOLapps due to violations of our terms.”
Facebook is a huge portal for game developers and integration with the Facebook platform can utilize the great population within this social world. However, we also see that the Facebook now has the power to control developers’ behaviors and possibly creativities. It’ll be interesting to see how the online community is going to react to this ban. It can make some people quite upset now that Facebook becomes the one who has the power to control. We look forward to some explanation about the action.
