据insidesocialgames观察，在MySpace网站总体流量下降，该公司进行大规模裁员后，MySpace平台前25强的社交游戏或者社交应用，最近也开始进行撤离，将Facebook作为转移阵地，因为MySpace即将出售的消息降低了开发商对该平台的热情和兴趣。

游戏邦获悉，Playdom、RockYou和Zynga等社交游戏开发商目前已关闭了在MySpace的一些服务。在这三者中，Zynga关闭的游戏或应用最少，而RockYou则将其在MySpace的拳头产品全部撤出。现在仍运行于MySpace平台的社交游戏和服务，多半是一些比较简单的游戏，例如基于文本的角色扮演游戏，支持好友互赠礼物或分享内容的游戏类应用等。

MySpace

以下是三家主要社交游戏开发商关闭的项目名单：

Playdom

该公司在MySpace前25强应用榜单中占据了7个席位，是该平台第二大开发商。但现在已关闭榜单上的其中5款应用，其中两者分别是《Overdrive》和《Bloodlines》这种基于文本的角色扮演类游戏。

目前仍向MySpace用户开放的游戏是《Mobsters》、《Sorority Life》和《WSOP Poker》，除此之外，还有两款游戏类应用Bumper Stickers和Own Your Friends也仍在服务状态。

《Overdrive》——虽然该游戏仍可在MySpace应用目录显示，但游戏邦获悉这款游戏已经停止服务了，只是还没有正式公布截止日期。这款赛车类RPG游戏在今年3月1日时的用户数据为270.954万，在榜单中位居第17名。

《Bloodlines》——这款吸血鬼RPG游戏将与《Overdrive》同时关闭，它在该平台最近的用户总数是200.0332万，在前25强榜单中位居第19名。

RockYou

该公司是首家采取撤离行动的开发商，关闭了它在MySpace平台上的所有热门游戏。游戏邦认为，RockYou做出这种行动与MySpace去年10月的大裁员以及网站总体流量下降直接相关。该公司共有4款热门游戏或应用已关闭服务：

Truth Box——这款游戏类应用在去年12月的用户纪录是784.5445万，在前25强榜单中位居第七名，据称它在今年1月份已经撤离MySpace。

《RockYou Pets》——原先在榜单上排名第十，它和Truth Box同时撤出，去年12月的用户数据是606.3043万。

SuperHug! ——这也是一款游戏类社交应用，原先排在第14名，与前面两者一样在1月份关闭服务，之前的用户数据是445.4609万。

《Speed Racing》——这款赛车类RPG游戏在撤离前的排名是第19，1月份报告的用户总数为259.5852万。

Zynga

比较令人意外的是，Zynga并没有像人们预期的那样，撤走大量在MySpace的游戏。目前为止，该公司仅关闭了一款赛车类RPG游戏《Street Racing》，但它与Playdom应用产品一样，仍然出现在MySpace的应用目录中，不过它在几个月前就已经停止提供服务。

游戏邦获悉，Zynga在MySpace前25强游戏榜单中仍占据7个席位，这些游戏包括《Mafia Wars》、《YoVille》、《Zynga Poker》、《Vampires》、《Fashion Wars》、《Special Forces》和《Friend Factory》。

《Street Racing》——该游戏在去年11月份关闭服务，仍现在仍有一些访问用户。之前的排名是第11位，在1月份的用户数量为463.4151万。据称该游戏在Facebook也已经关闭服务。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Following MySpace Traffic Falls, Some Top Developers Shut Down Games

Since late 2008, we’ve been tracking the top 25 games, or at least game-like apps, each month for the MySpace platform (at least as well as we could, given that MySpace only shares total install numbers). MySpace has never shown the amount of growth that Facebook has, but still offered a good audience for some games. Nevertheless, overall traffic declines on the site, as well as massive layoffs at the company, and plans for a sale have collectively cooled developer interest. And recently, a number of them have shut down titles on MySpace, mainly to focus resources on Facebook, from what we’ve seen.

Thus far, developers Playdom, RockYou, and Zynga have all shut down applications (although there may be more, let us know in the comments). Of the three, Zynga has shut down the least, while RockYou has pulled all of its top titles out completely. As it stands, most of the largest remaining apps consist of lighter games that are generally the simpler style of game from yesteryear, such as text-based role-playing games, and basic sharing/gifting types of apps that allow friends to interact with one another in fun, game-like ways.

Here’s a quick breakdown of top titles that have gone in recent months.

Playdom

Playdom was the second most dominant developer with seven titles within the most recent Top 25 by installs list. Now, however, it is even with BitRhymes, with five apps on the list, having shut down two of its role-playing games, Overdrive and Bloodlines. Both were text-based RPGs.

As it stands, Playdom is still keeping its top Mobsters game, Sorority Life, and WSOP Poker up and running. In addition to these, the merely game-like apps Bumper Stickers and Own Your Friends are still in service as well.

Overdrive — Though the game still appears in the app gallery on MySpace, it was noted to us that the game was, in fact, discontinued. As such, the exact shut down date is unknown, but the racing RPG’s user numbers, as of our last reporting on the 1st of March, tallied 2,709,540 and came in at #17 on our list.

Bloodlines – The vampire RPG, Bloodlines, has also shut down, and likely around the same time as Overdrive. It’s last noted numbers (also from the 1st), were 2,000,332 total users. It was #19 on our Top 25 list.

RockYou

RockYou was the first major developer to drop out of MySpace. As it stands, every one of the top RockYou titles have been removed completely (meaning they no longer even appear in the app gallery).

Likely the removal was due to both the decline of the platform and significant layoffs back in October. In total, the four top titles from the developer are now gone.

Truth Box – A game-like application that allowed for more fun social interaction between friends, its last recorded numbers, from December, were at 7,845,445 total users and was #7 in the top 25 MySpace games. We noted its disappearance in January

RockYou Pets — Formerly #10 on our lists, the virtual pet game of RockYou Pets also disappeared at the same time as Truth Box. Its user count, from December, was 6,063,043.

SuperHug! – Another game-like social interaction app, this time at #14, was SuperHug!. Along with the prior two, this app was gone come January, with the prior month’s user numbers equaling 4,454,609.

Speed Racing – A month later, racing RPG, Speed Racing bit the dust. Before its departure it was #19 and hosted 2,595,852 total users. The numbers were reported in January.

Zynga

Surprisingly enough, Zynga has not shut down as many MySpace titles as one might expect, considering past Facebook game shut downs. Thus far, it has only noticeably shut down its racing RPG, Street  Racing. Like the Playdom apps, it still appears in the app gallery, despite being discontinued several months ago.

Zynga still hosts seven games within the top 25 MySpace games list including Mafia Wars, YoVille, Zynga Poker, Vampires, Fashion Wars, Special Forces, and Friend Factory.

Street Racing – Shut down at the end of November, the racing role-player actually still saw visitors for some time. Before we stopped tracking it, the game was still #11 on the list (despite having been shut down), with a total user count of 4,634,151 as of January. Note that the game also was shut down on Facebook.（source:insidesocialgames）
