社交网站Facebook似乎也将掀起一场信贷危机。最近,该社交网站正在测试购买虚拟货币Facebook Credits的“稍后付款”功能。据Inside Facebook报导,目前这一功能还未向所有用户开发。现在,譬如玩家计划在FrontierVille中购买虚拟货币时,付款前玩家可以有一个新的选择:稍后付款。这一新功能可能使新玩家无限制地借出大量的Facebook Credits。

在首次选择“稍后付款”后,玩家还可以继续借出更多的Facebook Credits,这都将记录在玩家的欠款档案中。尽管在接下来的购物过程中,玩家都可以选择偿还余额,但玩家只能通过信用卡或者PayPal账户等自动支付方式偿还债务。先来这款新功能的主要目的是要诱惑新玩家提供自己的信用卡信息。更重要的是通过这一功能将免费玩家转化为付费玩家。

据Inside Facebook报导,目前Facebook并没有向用户的欠债规定还款期限等。但玩家不会建立多个账户用于借取大量的Facebook Credits,然后放弃这些账号吗?这对那些让孩子使用自己Facebook账号的家长而言可能会是一个巨大的灾难。(本文由游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明:游戏邦)

And so the credit crisis begins on Facebook. The social network is currently testing a “Pay Later” for Facebook Credits (FB Credits) purchases while in social games and other apps, though it’s not live for everyone just yet, Inside Facebook reports. Players who have yet to purchase FB Credits will be prompted by a new option to pay later when buying virtual currency within social games like FrontierVille, for example. This essentially allows gamers new to using FB Credits to loan out the currency for that shiny new item indefinitely.

Players can even loan out more FB Credits after initially skipping a payment, adding to their debt. Though, on subsequent purchases you’re given the option to pay off that balance. However, players can only repay their debt using an automated payment method like a credit card or PayPal account, which is part of the point. The idea behind this new feature seems to be to entice new players to eventually provide Facebook with their credit card information. More importantly, with this program Facebook could transform non-purchasers into instant buyers.

According to Inside Facebook, there is currently no repayment period nor are there any repercussions for remaining in debt. Well, aside from potentially ruining your credit score by racking up hundreds of dollars worth of Horseshoes. But who’s to say players won’t simply create multiple accounts to loan out virtual goods with, only to later close the accounts? Not to mention that this could spell doom for parents who let their kids game on their Facebook accounts (stop that, will ya?). (Source:Games.com)
