The busy Games team at Facebook announced several enhancements to the site’s casual gaming platform to help drive engagement and encourage discovery. The changes also promise to give players more control over how their game play shows up in the their News Feed, finally offering the ability to block all game-related posts. People who do not play games will only see stories when a particular game is added by a group of friends, instead of ongoing News Feed stories. These “dedicated stories” will also show which friends are playing a game, making it easy to join in. Meanwhile, there as signs that Facebook’s advanced privacy settings are beginning to appease critics. Canada’s Privacy Commissioner said Wednesday that Facebook has resolved concerns she raised a year ago over third parties’ ability to obtain user data through the site. ~ MULTIPLATFORM CONTENT NEWS ~
