It was expected that Facebook would eventually expand Credits into a micropayment system open to any Facebook application, whether a game or a media company application.

While the is still active, Facebook has announced that it is doing away with Facebook Credits in favor of local currency.

An online game is a video game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet or another computer network.

Online games are ubiquitous on modern gaming platforms, including PCs, consoles and mobile devices, and span many genres, including first-person shooters, strategy games and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).

A gamer is someone who plays interactive games, usually video games, although games can also come in other forms, such as tabletop or physical games (in some countries, such as the United Kingdom, the term "gaming" can also refer to legalized gambling, which can take both traditional—i.e. tabletop—and digital forms—akin to video games).

There are many gamer communities around the world.

Many of these take the form of Internet forums and other virtual communities, as well as in-person social clubs.

Cheating in video games involves a video game player using non-standard methods to create an advantage or disadvantage beyond normal gameplay, in order to make the game easier or harder.

Cheats may be activated from within the game itself (a cheat code implemented by the original game developers), or created by third-party software (a game trainer) or hardware (a cheat cartridge).

They can also be realized by exploiting software bugs; this may or may not be considered cheating based on whether the bug is considered common knowledge.

Software bugs are very often considered software features and as long as they are common knowledge, it is questionable whether it is cheating.

Strategy guides are instruction books that contain hints or complete solutions to specific video games.

The line between strategy guides and walkthroughs is somewhat blurred, with the former often containing or being written around the latter.

Strategy guides are often published in print, both in book form and also as articles within video game magazines.

In cases of exceptionally popular game titles, guides may be sold through more mainstream publication channels, such as bookstores or even newsstands.

Some publishers also sell E-Book versions on their websites.
