How Kixeye is adapting its social games to mobile

SAN FRANCISCO — Publisher Kixeye has generated big revenues from hardcore social games on Facebook, and it’s a new phase of investing heavily in mobile games as players shift to tablets and smartphones and away from playing PC-based games on Facebook or the web.

But it hasn’t shipped any mobile games yet because it is being very deliberate about how it moves into mobile, said Alan Patmore, vice president of product at Kixeye, in a talk at the Login Conference, an event that focuses on the video game industry.
