Facebook has confirmed that the company is actively discussing plans with several game developers to create games that work on its Messenger platform. Facebook is reportedly yet to announce how exactly these games will work with its messaging application and when the first list of games will arrive. Incorporating games into Messenger could boost the company’s gaming business, which heavily depends on the number of desktop computer users at the present. Facebook’s plan for gamification is a way to get more user engagement and more revenue. If users end up playing any game for 10 minutes or an hour, that would be more time spent on the Messenger app.
