To paraphrase what someone else said...
Facebook allows you to keep your friends who you know from work, school or a club and you are friends with because they are around. When they stop being around, you lose touch, sometimes even if you really didn’t want to lose touch with them. And sometimes you just have a mild interest in keeping in contact. Facebook allows you to follow their lives, without going to any more trouble than you want to interacting with them. No phone calls, no emails, no coffee dates but you still get to see little things about them. It gives you a window into their life. So, friendships stay strong, or at least, continue on some level.
I'm a FB gamer and I play because: it reduces stress, it gives me the chance to be strategic, it's free, it's fun, it gives me a chance to meet new friends, and I don't have to get dressed to play!
If you are not using FB because of the game posts you can "X" the games out so you never have to see them. All you do is put your cursor on top of the post, click on the "X" to the right then click on "Don't show any posts from..." Wahlah! No more game posts from that particular game!
