I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the traditional game companies coming to Facebook. It just seems inevitable for a number of reasons. I think, unfortunately, that's who Facebook will help out with given the dynamics of the corporate environment. Someone on the BOD will force EA and Facebook into some big strategic deal. Then EA (and others of course) will reach in and make a few key hires/acquisitions to get the cutting edge guys who understand virality while bringing in their ever increasing understanding of monetizing internet based gaming. Just my two cents. Thanks for the insights Blake. I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the traditional game companies coming to Facebook.
