WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 2 Beyond Facebook, 2011 Introduction & Motivation

This white paper finds its origin in a series of conversations currently being held in the games in- dustry. Specifically, it aims to present a critical view on the tremendous popularity of social net- works. With well over 750 million users, Facebook dominates the space. However, Facebook rep- resents just 30% of worldwide traffic for social networks, and there is a large number of social networks around the world that deserve attention from content developers and publishers.

Beyond the borders of North America, where it is a clear market leader, Facebook competes with locally incumbent social networks all over the world. The outcome of this competition is audience segmentation. For developers and social game publishers this means it can be strategically more sensible to cater to a niche audience instead of relying exclusively on Facebook. This white paper profiles several local social networks in Europe and Latin America, and presents high-level data on these respective markets.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 3 Beyond Facebook, 2011 Methodology

All figures mentioned in this report are based on data collected by SuperData, unless otherwise noted.

Social games operate using a so-called ‘free-to-play’ (F2P) revenue model, in which users are generally not required to spend any money until they reach a certain level in the game. On an on- going basis, SuperData tracks millions of paying online gamers worldwide. The total sample size for this report consists of 774,158 unique transactions by 152,159 individuals in the six-month period ending on June 1, 2011. We used this data to calculate the average revenue per paying user, or ARPPU, by dividing revenues by total number of paying users. Revenues include both di- rect payment (e.g. credit cards, mobile, prepaid game cards) and indirect payment from players using opt-in marketing incentive offers (e.g. offer providers). The figures mentioned in this report do not include revenue generated from display advertising.

In modeling our market sizing and forecasts we employed additional data from the World Bank, national census information, and financial records of public companies. If you any questions or remarks regarding this study, please contact us. We appreciate your feedback.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 4 Beyond Facebook, 2011 Current Landscape

With 750 million users worldwide, it may seem like Facebook is the only game in town. Certainly, its scale, technical sophistication and ability to generate daily headlines have put Facebook in a powerful position in the overall social networking landscape. However, its size and popularity have also forced Facebook’s hand in regard to key features, creating an opportunity for alternative plat- forms.

First, consolidation is an important consideration among social game companies on Facebook.

Currently, seven of Zynga’s applications are among the top 25, with a combined base of 268 mil- lion monthly active users. Also, Zynga’s multi-year deal with Facebook tilts the playing field in

Zynga’s favor. This makes it very challenging for smaller firms with modest marketing budgets to compete on equal footing. In such a crowded space, it is difficult for any developer to stand out, without substantial investments in marketing and user acquisition.

Secondly, as of July 1st this year, Facebook Credits became mandatory for all social game devel- opers on the platform. In financial terms, Facebook charges a 30% commission on all transac- tions, similar to Apple’s App Store. Over the past few months, game companies like Arkadium ,

Digital Chocolate, and PopCap Games have publicly stated that integrating Facebook Credits im- proved monetization by increasing conversion rates, increasing ARPPU and reducing billing and payment issues. However, this transition indicates a crystallization of the platform, allowing devel- opers less wiggle room in developing a monetization model around their content. Another exam- ple of this maturation is Facebook’s efforts to curb the type of messages an application can post

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 5 Beyond Facebook, 2011 on a user’s wall. To prevent users from growing tired of an endless stream of automated status updates and in-game activity, Facebook drafted a new set of rules and, according to some, effec- tively “killed” virality and increased the cost of player acquisition (All Facebook, May 7, 2010).

Thirdly, a recent sudden shut-down of a slew of applications by Facebook send a shockwave through the development community (Business Insider, June 26, 2011). Facebook, which had failed to successfully communicate the implementation of an algorithm, began automatically shut- ting down apps if they post too often to a user’s wall. Being the biggest fish in the pond no doubt attracts a slew of spammers trying to reach Facebook’s audience, but in managing that, it may be smaller developers paying the price.

No doubt Facebook will continue to provide a profitable, viable platform for dedicated developers.

At the same time, a growing number of smaller, niche focused social networks are providing an alternative to the single platform launch.

Beyond Facebook

With Facebook maturing and becoming a more costly investment, smaller, more focused plat- forms provide room for growth and diversification. Social networks like Hyves (the Netherlands) and Tuenti (Spain) offer a mass-market, local experience to their audiences, while other social networks target a distinct market within their regions, such as students (StudiVZ) or people look- ing to date (Badoo). In the online game space, savvy companies like Bigpoint (which recently re- ceived a $350 million round of funding) have built their success by targeting these niche audi-

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 6 Beyond Facebook, 2011 ences. Not only do these niche social networks co-exist in a Facebook dominated world, many are thriving.

In addition to regional social networks, strong competition from Google, in the form of Google+, will provide social game developers with broader distribution and increased potential for moneti- zation. In addition to new viral distribution channels, Google is currently charging a 5% commis- sion rate, significantly less than the 30% of revenue currently charged by Facebook.

This multiplicity of vibrant social networks creates a significant opportunity for social game devel- opers willing to port their content to new networks and localize for non-English speaking regions.

In the following we look at social networks throughout Europe and Latin America, two of the fast- est growing regions for social game usage.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 7 Beyond Facebook, 2011 Market Size & Forecast

Despite Facebook’s apparent dominance, the bulk of social gaming revenues is made on other platforms. Figure 1 shows the current size of the worldwide market as well as a breakdown of where revenues are generated.

Asia, where local social networks reign supreme, remains the largest market for social games, with estimated $2.0 billion in total revenues for 2011. Even when excluding Asia (figure 1a), we see that close to a quarter of worldwide social gaming revenues are generated outside of Face- book. This number will continue to increase as developers and publishers move to their own plat- forms and other social networks such as Google+.

Turning our attention to several key markets, we find substantial audience sizes. Countries like

Turkey, Germany, Brazil and Russia present important growth areas in the coming period. Spain, despite its relatively small size in comparison to North America is expected to increase more than

five-fold from its 2009 audience size, from 3.4 million to 15.9 million social gamers. Estimated revenues will reach approximately $100 million by 2015E.

Russia, too, represents a rapidly expanding market. Its audience base of 12.9 million social gam- ers (2009) is on pace to increase to 69.5 million by 2015E. Revenues follow suit with an increase from $31 million to $215 million during the same timeframe.

After an initially explosive market growth in the period 2009-2011, we expect the growth of the overall market to gradually reach a plateau as the market matures. However, emerging markets such as Russia and Brazil will show a prolonged growth compared to their developed counter- parts. In terms of revenue, the developed markets show greater strength as the average revenue per social gamer is higher than in emerging markets.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 12 Beyond Facebook, 2011 Leading Social Networks in Europe

While there exist many small and medium-sized social networks throughout Europe, several have managed to claim a dominant position in their respective markets. In this section, we provide an overview of five leading social networks in the various European markets, their history and charac- teristics: Hyves (the Netherlands), Tuenti (Spain), VKontakte (Russia), StudiVZ (Germany) and

Yonja (Turkey).

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 13 Beyond Facebook, 2011

Founded 2004 Registered Users 11 million Owner Telegraaf Media Group URL http://www.Hyves.nl

With approximately 11 million registered users in a country of 16 million, Hyves is hands-down the top social network in the Netherlands. This local, social network experienced incredible growth and within three years of its founding became the Netherlands’ most popular site in 2007. In

2010, Hyves was acquired by Dutch company Telegraaf Media Group for an undisclosed amount.

With a 90% internet penetration rate and as the keystone of the Benelux region, the Netherlands is an important market for Facebook and they are moving in aggressively. In March 2011, Face- book opened in office in Amsterdam to ramp up their efforts in the region. However, both Face- book and Hyves consider each other as threats but not direct competition. Hyves maintains it has no plans for overseas expansion and is a Dutch-centric site, focused on localized content and in- tegration in their users’ daily lives. Hyves’ user statistics indicate they are dealing with a different segment of the population than Facebook. Hyves also claims their users are younger and more active on the site (Wall Street Journal, November 1, 2010).

Social gaming in the Netherlands is poised for exponential growth. At an estimated 0.4% (Deloitte

& DGA, April, 2011) ), social gaming revenue is currently a small portion of the total games market in Holland, however, with Hyves’ intense focus on the sector and Facebook’s move into the re-

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 14 Beyond Facebook, 2011 gion, this will quickly change. Hyves is actively courting game developers to help increase user engagement and stave off competition. Hyves’ April 2010 deal with Spil Games to exclusively op- erate the Hyves Games platform and their recent focus on mobile gaming are both part of their recent game-focused effort.

Founded 2006 Registered Users 10.7 million Owner Telefonica (85%)

URL http://www.Tuenti.com

With a distinct focus on Spain, Tuenti has grown to approximately 11 million users. In August

2010, Telefonica bought a majority stake of 85% in Tuenti for €70 million ($99 million), after report- ing an annual revenue of €700,000 just two years earlier. Recently, Tuenti shifted their focus to in- ternational expansion (Bloomberg Businessweek, May 27,2011).

Currently Tuenti and Facebook are neck and neck in terms of registered users. Recent reports put

Facebook Spain at slightly over 13 million. However, their user demographics differ slightly. Tu- enti’s user base skews younger with more teenagers and young adults while Facebook has the over 25 years old crowd, a group more likely to have worldwide connections. Tuenti’s key features are tailored to their local audience. Extensive chat features, strict privacy, location based features, and free mobile access (via SMS) in a country with high mobile data fees all fit perfectly into the needs of Spain-based social network users. Tuenti is also set up with a focus on communities and connecting to real-world friends.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 15 Beyond Facebook, 2011

Tuenti sign up is only possible via invitation from an existing members who, in turn, have a limited number of invitations. This arguably ensures people only add close connections to their network, which benefits its overall retention and engagement and creates an attractive environment for so- cial game developers. Similar to Hyves, Tuenti’s gaming strategy is fairly new. In June 2010 it launched Tuenti Juegos with twenty social games via a partnership with California and Argentina based Metrogames and Massachusetts based Viximo. In addition, Tuenti launched a site-wide virtual currency, Tuenti Creditos, which, like Facebook Credits, aims to reduce friction for users playing multiple games. Today, the top twenty games are now from six developers (AppStats,

June 2011) and Tuenti continues to build relationships with developers in order to grow their game platform.

Founded 2006 Registered Users 110 million, 23 million monthly uniques Owner Several including Mail.ru

URL http://www.vk.com

Originally focused on college students, VKontakte is one of the dominant social networks in Rus- sia. It claims a majority of the online audience in Russia and southeastern Europe. Vkontakte suc- cessfully combines a social network site with an entertainment portal allowing users to upload and download movies and music (allegedly sometimes pirated). This media component on one of the most popular sites in the country helps Russia claim one of the highest social network en- gagement levels in the world with users spending almost ten hours a month on social network sites (comScore, October 10, 2010).

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 16 Beyond Facebook, 2011

In terms of social gaming, Vkontakte is tailored to Russian users with a variety of cash-based and mobile payment options and games featuring local figures such as Putin.

Vkontakte’s gaming strategy launched in early 2009 with the release of their gaming platform. It aggressively courted game developers worldwide and offered translation and localization services.

Within a few months, their platform reached 50,000 applications (InsideSocialGames). The appeal of Russia’s large population and commitment to increasing internet penetration has caused the region’s social game to grow very quickly and is rapidly approaching maturation. This coupled with consolidation and large investments being made on the development side indicates Russia’s social gaming market will continue to grow.

In addition to social game distribution, Russian has been fertile ground for social game develop- ers. Several prominent game developers have gotten their start on Vkontake and other Russian networks, then moved to expand aggressively outside of Russia. The most notable example is

Game Insight which is one of the larger social game developers on Facebook with hits such as

Resort World and one of the top mobile game developers for Android and iOS.

Facebook is making slow but positive progress in Russia and gaining users at a steady pace.

However with Vkontakte to contend with and copycat sites popping up, Russia is likely to remain a social network market segmented by interests and/or demographics.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 17 Beyond Facebook, 2011

Founded 2005 Registered Users 16 million Owner VZnet Netzwerke Ltd. URLs www.studivz.net, www.meinvz.net, www.schuelervz.net

VZnet social networks originated in Berlin and primarily focus on students and the German- speaking market throughout Europe. Its three properties breakdown as follows: StudiVZ is geared towards college and university students, SchülerVZ towards middle and high school students as young as twelve and MeinVZ is for the over 18, non-student population. In an effort to expand its presence, VZnet launched several college student focused subsidiaries in other countries: , Stu- diQG (France), StudiLN (Italy), EstudiLN (Spain), StudentIX (Poland).

Recently, StudiVZ’s user base has been eroding as college/university graduates leave and instead of moving to MeinVZ, migrate to Facebook as they look to drop their student status and keep in touch with international connections. Despite its struggles in the post-college market, VZnet’s student-centric strategy is working well with German-speaking middle and high school students.

SchülerVZ has the most users of the three social networks with an estimated 8.7MM versus Stu- diVZ’s 7.3MM and MeinVZ’s 3.2MM. The allure of the internationally-known, multi-lingual Face- book is not as strong to this younger audience whose contacts are more likely to be local. VZnet totals 16 million users, compared to Facebook’s 19 million in all of Germany. SchülerVZ’s features are well targeted to younger school students. Joining is by invite only and students can sign into their school or class, something not available on Facebook.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 18 Beyond Facebook, 2011

VZNet has demonstrated they are focused on their gaming strategy and looking to further engage and monetize this user base. In late 2010, VZnet rolled out their iPhone and iPod Touch app al- lowing users to play their social games on mobile devices. Also in late 2010, a partnership with

Meez was forged, allowing users to interact in the Meez virtual world. However, this was launched on StudiVZ where the minimum age is 18 whereas Meez average age is 17 (YPulse, October 23,

2009).

Strict privacy rules limit the virality VZNet’s social game offerings, so the site’s most successful social game developers rely on advertising and cross-promotion to drive traffic. These efforts can have a significant payoff since German social game players monetize more highly than players form most other regions.

Germany has some of the strictest privacy laws meaning games accessing profile information are reviewed extensively, especially those geared at the under 18 demographic. Privacy continues to be a touch point for Facebook in Germany. They have been asked repeatedly to adjust how the social network and its applications collect user data. Government officials went so far as to warn citizen about Facebook privacy concerns and the latest incident where a German teen acciden- tally invited all of Facebook to her birthday party probably did not help.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 19 Beyond Facebook, 2011

Founded 2003 Registered Users 6 million, 2 million monthly uniques Owner Yonja Media Group URL http://www.Yonja.com

Founded in 2003, Yonja is the largest Turkish social network with offices in both San Francisco and Istanbul. This social network is specifically geared towards the Turkish community and its leadership has no plans to expand or offer other languages in the near future. Yonja is a feature rich, niche social network offering users a suite of features including daily deals, dating services, location-based services, music, videos, and social gaming.

With one of the most highly engaged audiences in Europe (comScore May 4, 2011), 27 million internet users, and gaming as the top activity for social network users (Yonja Media Group, Octo- ber, 2010), Turkey is a promising market for social game developers.

Yonja is in a unique position in terms of monetization strategy. One of their sister companies at

Yonja Media Group is Yonja Payment Network (YPN). YPN handles Zynga’s EFT payments for

Facebook’s 19 million users in Turkey. This gives them incredible insight into monetization via so- cial games and motivation to prioritize social games.

Its privacy settings are less stringent than elsewhere (for example even unregistered users can search its user base and display their location on a map) meaning the guidelines for how applica-

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 20 Beyond Facebook, 2011 tions collect data are less strict and games can roll out faster because of a shorter review proc- ess.

Founded 1997, 2005 for social network Registered Users 35.6 million Owner Quepasa Corporation (AMEX: QPSA) URL http://www.QuePasa.com

In 2005 publicly traded Quepasa Corporation, a Latino focused news portal and online commu- nity at the time, launched its social network component. The trilingual (Spanish, English and Por- tuguese) site has been experiencing exponential growth despite increased competition. Regis- tered users increased from 1.3 million users to 35.6 million in the past year and in 2010 the com- pany generated $6.1 million in revenues, up from $536,000 a year earlier.

Quepasa has a strong presence in Latin America with 26% of its user base from Brazil, 14% from

Mexico, and only 6% from the U.S. Even with almost 40 million Latin American users, Quepasa is not the top social networking site in the region. Sonico, Bebo, Hi5, Facebook, and Orkut all have more than 40 millions users, some have a multiple of that. However, this means Quepasa has a less crowded applications menu. They have a solid user base that is growing and they are eager to monetize and retain their users. They launched their games offering in Q2 2010 and recently acquired Brazilian game developer XtFt in order to develop games in house and games they can launch on competitor networks. The company’s first social game, Wonderful City - Rio, was launched in partnership with Mentez and has enjoyed success among Latin American users on both Facebook and Orkukt. In July 2011, Quepasa acquired myYearbook for $82 million in stock and $18 million in cash, thereby effectively doubling its audience base.

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 22 Beyond Facebook, 2011

Founded 2003 Registered Users 100 million Owner Google Inc. URL http://www.Orkut.com

Developed by Google after a failed take-over of Friendster, Orkut counts 100 million registered users. Approximately half of which are from Brazil, another 20% from India, and about 18% from the United States. The bulk of its user base is under 30 years old: users between 18 and 25 years old represent 53% of its total audience, and 26 to 30 year-olds 15%. Given the strong adoption of

Orkut in Brazil, Google moved all Orkut operations to its Brazilian division in 2008.

Today, Orkut is dominated by two social game distributors: Vostu and Mentez. Vostu has been called the Zynga of Brazil,having grown to about 20 million active players per month and raising a

$30 million dollar investment round in late 2010. Their success has been achieved by closely mir- roring Zynga’s strategy--so closely, that Zynga filed a lawsuit against Vostu in June 2011 for copy- right infringement. In contrast, Mentez has focused on publishing 3rd-party games localized to the

Brazilian Market and has achieve a similar level of traffic as Vostu.

Although Brazilian users are avid social game players, monetization can be a problem given the lack of adoption of traditional payment methods. For this reason, both Vostu and Mentez have developed prepaid card offerings that are available at tens of thousands of retail locations across

Brazil. Tutudo, a Latin American micro-transactions company, has developed a prepaid card net-

WHITE PAPER OCTOBER 2011 23 Beyond Facebook, 2011 work that has significant penetration and is available to developers not affiliated with Vostu or

Mentez.

For many years, Orkut was Google’s most successful venture in social, and Google is taking steps to make Orkut a great distribution channel for a broader array of developers looking to tar- get the Brazilian market. Combined with a more mature payment landscape, Orkut presents a po- tentially lucrative opportunity for social game developers looking to reach the 75M+ internet users in Brazil.
