PopCap Games' Chief Creative Office Jason Kapalka predicts that the rapid growth which FaceBook games have been seeing is finally coming to an end.
"You're definitely in the stage right now in social games where there's a lot of bandwagon jumping, where everyone sees moneymoneymoney and suddenly all these new companies appear," he said. "It happened before in mobile, it happened before in casual - in the past it's tended to signal the beginning of the end. Not necessarily of the genre, but of the sort of golden era, where everything was a fresh blue ocean."
But that doesn't make Kapalka worry as he believes that PopCap is relatively safe due to the fact that it is well entrenched in several platforms.
"In general, it feels like the industry is caught up in the kind of games that we've always been doing," he explained. "It feels less like we're in a position where we have to argue about why casual games and other games like we do are legitimate forms of entertainment."

Pop Cap uses the bandwagon
Pop Cap uses the bandwagon approach to distract from the real issue of the rise in social networking games in 2010. The validity is qestionable.

yeah, but still a spyware
Known as a spyware, PopCap open many doors to other Malwares and Virus. For what I think, all facebook games, also Zylom, BigFish, GameHouse Games, those are all crap... not because the games are funny but because it's always full of crap like Spyware.
