European game companies like Germany’s Wooga join King in dominating Facebook

When it comes to finding new games for its platform, Facebook is increasingly focused on Europe.

Dan Rose, the vice president of partnerships for Facebook, said in an interview on the main stage this week at the Web Summit in Dublin that three of the top five game developers on its platform are now based in Europe and Israel, part of the company’s Europe, Middle East, and Africa region. This is happening as U.S. studios shift to mobile, a market that could hit $20 billion by the end of 2014. And even with European studios filling the gap, gaming revenue is still trending down on the social network.
