The social gaming giant wants companies to start paying to have their names or products they sell featured in game. According to AdAge the new revenue form will bolster what the game already gets from banner adverts and paid upgrades.
According to The Next Web, the first partner to come on board with the new plan in North America’s National Hockey League. The league will pay for users to draw Ice Hockey-related terms such as puck, Zamboni and goal.
