Facebook and Unity Collaboration to Create a Desktop Gaming Platform!

Apparently Facebook is taking another step to expand their gaming service, as Unity announced they are collaborating with Facebook to create a downloadable desktop gaming platform like Steam. This is the first collaboration between Facebook and Unity, which is the largest gaming development platform.

According to Unity Announcement :

Unity and Facebook are collaborating to build new functionality into Unity that streamlines the process for exporting and publishing games onto Facebook. This will allow Unity developers to quickly deliver their games to the millions of people who enjoy playing Facebook-connected games every month, and the chance to participate in an ecosystem that paid out over $2.5 billion to just web-game developers in 2015 alone.

These days, both of them are really giant companies and definitely their product should be very interesting, and something that gamers would love. However, it doesn’t mean that they will succeed with this product, as they have a big wall ahead called “Steam”

What do you think about this collaboration?

Do they really have a chance to beat Steam?
