[casual_games] Question of the week

[Juan Gril]

I think some people thought social games were going to be different from
casual, but it turned out the most successful social games are casual games.
As Wade said, the same players who were playing downloadable games, are
playing social games now. I started seeing this in 2009 when in user groups
testing one of our games, when asked what games they were playing right now
they were mentioning an equal number of social games vs PC downloads.

One key difference right now is that it seems the social ecosystem is
supporting "hardcore" games as well, Kabam games as an example.
