Not notable. Only 6 hits on Google News, all press releases. All citations are to wikis, facebook or primary sources. Only secondary sources are two technology blogs whose reliablility I'm not too convinced on. Sources were turned up in last AFD (closed as "no consensus" after 3 weeks), but some believe the sources fell under WP:ROUTINE.

 * Keep Meets WP:CORPDEPTH - here are some references (including New York Times and Wall Street Journal) that I've turned up in a relatively brief Google search: ,,,,. Regarding primary sources from Facebook: As the company predominantly makes games for this medium, they're inevitable. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 20:26, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The purported NYT and WSJ sources are not what they are claimed. NYT source is repost from a third-party tech blog (not saying it's not a useful citation). The WSJ source is a WSJ-sponsored blog. In addition, the Marketwire source is a press release and therefore does not help establish notability. Bongo  matic  02:39, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment&mdash;I'm not convinced the subject satisfies WP:CORPDEPTH. There's not really any in-depth coverage from reliable sources; most if not all of the cites are of so-so value. I can't really support a keep at this point, much as I'd like to. Regards, RJH (talk) 22:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
