More games will continue being added to this platform. Facebook hopes that by making you spend more time in the app, this could eventually lead to ad revenue or possibly a portion of payments, though no in-game purchases are allowed just yet. Either way, we all have a new reason to spend the vast majority of our lives staring at our phones instead of experiencing the real world. Rejoice!
