The Facebook's Power of Demand
It is what it is: if you have demand, you can venture into anything online. The latest news is that Facebook has gone into gaming. Why not? When you have demand, everything else becomes marginal. Yes, once the foundational fixed cost has been taken care off, building new application layers becomes easy. That is why we have Facebook Shopping, Facebook Local, Facebook Neighborhood….and now Facebook Games. It is building leverageable assets in technology. Yes, in a more stylistic language - The One Oasis Strategy in operation.
Facebook is following the steps of Microsoft and Google in developing cloud games. This is coming following the deteriorating faceoff between the social media giant and iPhone maker, Apple.
The games services will be launched on web and Android, but not on Apple store, as Facebook says the usability restriction on Apple’s store policy pose a challenge to the game services.
May I ask again, what is your One Oasis? What unit feeds or gives lives to all the inhabitants or subsidiaries in the company?
