- 64. Jackson, N.J., resident Eileen De Peri estimates she spends about $40 a month to buy "Farmville cash," buying items such as fuel so she can harvest her crops faster. "For a stupid game, to me that's a lot," said De Peri, who recently had 18 games on "Words with Friends," a Scrabble-like game, going at once. How big a business is it? In its recent filing with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission to go public, Facebook said the worldwide revenue generated from the sale of virtual goods increased from $2 billion in 2007 to $7 billion in 2010, and is forecast to increase to $15 billion by 2014. Zynga, the publisher of Farmville, Cityville and others, makes up 12% of the social media site's $3.7 billion in 2011 revenue, Facebook said. Last week, Zynga said revenue amounted to $1.1 billion in 2011, nearly double 2010's $597.4 million in revenue. "There are just so many people playing that the numbers actually not only work out positively for publishers, but in many cases can actually meet or exceed what they would have gotten had they chosen to sell the title as a full-priced retail project," Steinberg said.
