因《华尔街日报》的调查报告而在Facebook社交网站垮台的游戏开发公司LoLapps近来情况似有好转。但据Inside Social Games报导LOLapps旗下游戏最近处境更加艰难：除Ravenwood Fair以外，所有LoLapps游戏不再能进行任何的Facebook请求。

由于LoLapps是少数几家被Facebook暂停6个月病毒式传播的游戏开发公司之一，Critter Island等游戏玩家将在未来6个月内不再能与朋友们互赠礼物或邀请新朋友。但是其中LOLapps与Doom的开发商John Romero合作制作的新款游戏Ravenwood Fair却免遭此难。这或许是由于该款游戏发布于泄露事件之后。据AppData数据显示，Ravenwood Fair自发布后短短一个月期间已成为LOLapps公司排名第4的热门游戏，每月玩家多达170万人。

Critter Island Request Fail

从此时间似乎可以看出，Facebook其实并不想将LOLapps赶尽杀绝，而是在教导该公司如何公平竞争。不幸的是就是LOLapps旗下游戏的玩家们，分享是社交游戏的重要功能，由于这项功能被暂停，LOLapps玩家们之后6个月的游戏体验将受到严重的影响。（本文由游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译）

Since the recent LOLapps debacle on Facebook after the Wall Street Journal’s investigative report, the company seemed to be in good shape, but today it was discovered by Inside Social Games that something has changed for the worse about LOLapps’ games. As it turns out, every one of the developer’s games aside from Ravenwood Fair is no longer able to process Facebook Requests of any kind.

Because LOLapps appears to be one of the few app developers that Facebook has suspended from viral channels for the next sixth months, according to Inside Social Games, players of games like Critter Island will not be able to send each other gifts or request new friends for quite some time. However, Ravenwood Fair, LOLapps’ brand new game co-developed by Doom-creator John Romero, is still up and running on all cylinders. This is most likely because the game released after the whole sordid affair, not to mention it’s already the company’s fourth most popular game in less than a month with over 1.7 million players monthly, according to AppData.

It seems that Facebook is less interested in killing off LOLapps than in teaching the studio a lesson in fair business. Unfortunately for fans of LOLapps legacy games, their experience will be severely hindered considering sharing is a vital feature to almost all social games. Worse even is the developer’s ability to grow these games virally through friend requests and Discovery Stories, which will be all but nonexistent for a long time. In other words, expect to find quite a lot of friends in Ravenwood Fair in the near future (i.e. now). (Source:Games.com)
