Facebook gaming declines as fewer people use the social service on their desktop

Remember when Farmville seemed like the biggest thing in gaming? Those days feel longer and longer ago.

According to Eilers Research, Facebook gaming revenues were down 2 percent in the third quarter of 2014 when compared to the previous year. Eilers noted that this was the first time game revenues declined in a year-over-year basis. It also said that management expects the trend to continue as fewer people use Facebook on their desktop computers.
