Facebook is building its own Steam-style desktop gaming platform with Unity
Steam has succeeded (I think) because they've managed to walk a thin line w/ drm and not screwing up the user experience too much.<p>Facebook would be smart to have gaming and social as two separate things with optional integration with Facebook. They'll screw it up because they'll make the optional part super annoying. Because when have they not?<p>I turned off my Facebook years ago. That works fine for me, but I'm frustrated any time someone uses Facebook to post something I'd like to read (like yann lecun or john carmack) because it's a step backwards. It'd be like Doom being released as an AOL exclusive.<p>Anyway, my money's on steam and ue4 dominating for years to come, not a new dist platform and not unity.
