Will Zynga leave Facebook?

Facebook and Farmville developer Zynga may go separate ways, causing the casual game developer to find another home for its users to play.


The basic issue here is that Zynga isn't cool with the 30 percent cut that Facebook takes from customers using Facebook credits to purchase Zynga's in-game products.

That 30% is a huge cut. Zynga is said to be making about $300 million a year and only 1/3 of it is thru lead generation. That means Facebook could be getting 30% of the other 2/3 (or $200 million) which is $60 million.
