Snapchat is reportedly getting games this fall

This plot was outed by The Information today, which reports that Snapchat is planning to launch a new gaming platform in the fall that will allow third-party developers to create games specifically for the Snapchat app … It’s definitely a little weird to hear that Snapchat is seriously considering a foray into gaming, but it isn’t entirely without precedent … The hope is that delving into gaming will accomplish something similar for Snapchat, encouraging users to spend more time using the app and perhaps even drawing new users in.
