Dang. If I played some games on Facebook I'd definitely play some Dig Dug.

The beginning of the end was when all of Zynga's top men jumped ship.

This is good progress, though.

Expect Facebook shares to become even lower, if more companies follow.

I don't want to live in a future in which games can go away and never be playable again.

I wish this means Facebook gaming is dying as a whole and not just because Namco's games weren't popular enough.

It's not just console gaming that's dying.

But that's already happening for quite some time now. And every additional online-only, DLC or DRM step is making it even worse.
