In an announcement last Monday, Facebook Gaming introduces a new cloud gaming service that will allow users to gain free access to Android’s free-to-play games.

While seemingly an attempt to bolster Facebook Gaming’s presence in the industry, part of the move is also aimed for profit. That is, to give Facebook a channel where advertisements can be sold to the masses while exposing their audiences to the media they all love—video games.
