Why did they drop games? While I hated people forced game shares in my feed as much as the next guy, it seemed like an extremely successful branch of Facebook features.

Why did they drop it?



I don't think they've dropped them, you can still find them under the Gaming tab.

But their heyday was before the mobile wave, after which the two app stores became their main host while Facebook failed to become WeChat (albeit they still brilliantly/rapidly pivoted to mobile-first).
