Talking to Gamasutra, Facebook platform manager Gareth Davis has been explaining how the social network's Facebook Credits official payment system, currently being tested with select third-party apps, could further boost the rapidly-growing social network game market. Speaking as part of an in-depth Gamasutra interview about the social network's outreach into video games, as a number of Facebook game apps top 10 million unique monthly users, Davis commented in particular on the Facebook Credits system.

The company launched a closed beta of its 'Pay With Facebook' system in June, and Davis explained:
«We get a lot of requests to provide a platform-based monetization model. We want to help developers succeed as best as we can and also help users have a great experience.»
