News Corp. is evidently kicking its social gaming efforts into high gear, though a potential setback was announced today. AllThingsDigital just reported that recently-hired social gaming executive Sean Ryan is already leaving News Corp. to serve as head of gaming partnerships at Facebook.
Recent News Corp. hire John Welch will take over the gaming head role. His casual gaming company Making Fun, was recently acquired by News Corp.
I’ve been saying for quite some time that gaming is important, and should be important to traditional media turned multimedia houses. This points even more to how the social gaming world is about to grow, probably by leaps and bounds. Don’t get left behind.
