Facebook games are invading privacy once again. Facebook has still not responded to a request for comment on the matter. Facebook is under-fire for once again allowing 3rd party companies to gain information about individual Facebook users through the use of games such as the mega-popular FarmVille.

Walking simulators, have you heard of those? Games like Gone Home, Serena, The Beginner’s Guide, in which you walk around a world and stuff happens at you?"
They are some sneaky bastards.
If you think Bobby kotick is behind this.
people who agree for publishers to get gamers facebook on their ps3 will invade their privacy.
