A Bit About Fan Immersion Browser-Based Games

Fan Immersion Games, or FIGs, are social, casual, massively multiplayer online (MMO) games. They’re becoming more and more popular on the gaming scene since nowadays there’s a greater trend toward playing web-based and social games.

FIGs are also free to play and include opportunities for players to buy extras and premium accounts in the game. Some examples are Farmville, where players can buy Farm Cash, and Neopets, where players can buy a premium account for less than $10.

Within FIGs, there are generally elements of an online community and camaraderie, as well as story-driven designs.

The worldwide online gaming market is forecasted to reach $13 billion in the year 2011.
