    This may have already been asked, but I don't check the forum very often lately. Everyone is a buzz with questions of what will happen if myspace shuts down. Can we get someone in Kano to way in and let us know what is the plan if myspace shuts down? It would settle down the buzz that is getting a bit out of sorts.

    Thanks. :)

    As we have stated before, if MySpace shutdowns or closes games we will create a way to transition players over to a another network that is supported by the game. We are not sure of what the specifics would be, but for those that have invested many hours and/or cash into their account we will try our best to make sure you are happy with the outcome, it is in our best interest to do so.

    We are still waiting to hear what the new direction is with MySpace and where games fit into that, for now they are still promoted heavily throughout the site so until we hear otherwise as far as we are concerned games on MySpace are not going away anytime soon. Other major developers may be pulling their games off only because of the overhead required to maintain them vs profit is not worth while for them but we have built our games to maintain low overhead while running on other networks.
     
  3. Basically Eddie is saying that Kano is more savvy than that hulk of tyndall formerly known as zynga.

    Zynga, Tyndall, and Facebook all find their origins in the same stream of loose stool.

    7/27/11 PULSE2: "Myspace is currently subject to a lot of rumors, from layoffs to sale, and should be done with their acquisition deal by Thursday. All Things D reports that Specific Media and Golden Gate Capital are the frontrunners in the deal, both with plans to focus on Myspace’s music services. Before the deal finalizes Myspace will likely cut its staff—some say by 50%, maybe more".

    Basically 2 days away. Hmmm. Will this immediately effect apps? Maybe/Maybe not.

    I even question if "music only" can survive on myspace (sounds like it's headed that way)... this being said... I have lots of memories on myspace. Member since late 2006 and have seen it grow and shrink because of negligence and simply not responding quicker to it's users. Met some lifetime friends and lifetime enemies via RL or playing apps. If the apps are secondary or zilch on myspace... I hope that Kano and other apps offers a transition to another social network sooner than later. Yes, the technology is here. The reality of it all.. is myspace is yesterday and we all must move on. So grab a beer and hope to see you on the other side ;)

    *Still not confirmed :/
