A small European game company that launched nine years ago recently overtook Electronic Arts in total number of players on Facebook.

King.com is the maker of the popular Saga games on Facebook. Its most popular title, Bubble Witch Saga, has more players than Zynga's Farmville. King.com has nearly 9 million people playing its games on a daily basis. Zynga is still the leader as far as Facebook games go, but King.com is making headway now that it has more players than Electronic Arts.

Would you like to rephrase your statement?

Ok now you're doing this on purpose.

It's funny because it sounds like King Kong.

More comments about the typo than the actual article :/ It was a pretty glaring mistake and a pretty pointless article, but come on, stop the trolling.

I personally don't care about Facebook games but this is good for King.com I guess.

Wow, that's embarrassing, I can understand typos in the article, but in the headline and the last sentence of the article...at the same time. Is it really that hard or time consuming to use spell check or maybe even proofread your own writing?

"The Electronic Arts"? Even "Then" is wrong in this situation. I failed English 3 times in High School (and it's my second language, now primary/only) and I see this, you are most likely an English Major, come on Mr. Hilliard you're better than this.
Then= time
Than= comparison

I see GI has fixed the title's typo.

why the heck do people play childish games on facebook when they could be playing on a ps3 or x-box

When did GI become so petty that they now report Sh1tbook games and iPhone games?

Never heard of 'em, I give EA less than a month before the buy 'em though.

Never mind, the article has been corrected
