Man, I don't know if that's even considered undercutting anymore. That's just plain crazy talk. According to All Things D, the recently revealed Google+ Games platform will only charge developers 5 percent of revenue from in-app purchases like, say, FarmVille (oh, wait).
If the website's anonymous sources are correct, and Google decides to charge a similar amount for in-game purchases, this undercuts Facebook's current service charge of 30 percent by an incredible amount.
And, if true, this appears to the strategy Google is going with. No need to sign on major talent in dangerously symbiotic contracts--ahem, Zynga--just undercut the hell out of the competition and make developers like you better.
Who knows exactly what Google+ Games will look like, but you can bet it'll have a metric ton of games at launch. That offer would simply be too goo to pass up. We've contacted Google for comment, stay tuned.

Angry Birds Valentine's Edition images leak, can't contain the cute
Angry Birds Cloud Ship
We all knew that a Valentine's Day Edition of Angry Birds was in transit, but this is our first glimpse at what the game will look like, thanks to All Things Digital. It won't take longer than a few seconds to notice the hefty amount of cute that Rovio has packed into the version of the game. ATD predicts this version will launch next week in the Apple App Store and Android Marketplace as an update to the Angry Birds Seasons game that's out right now.

The gameplay will likely remain unchanged, so what we're dealing with is essentially a palette swap. However, some new winged pig enemies seem to make an appearance as well as some new shapes to deal with like glass hearts and cloud tree houses. There are also new items to collect, heart-shaped candies, in replace of golden eggs.
Fans might soon begin to complain that not much has changed in three versions of the game (and one on the way). And they're absolutely right. But isn't it the bite-sized, challenging and engaging gameplay along with adorably angry avian noises that we've come to love? Rovio called, it says thank you in advance for the $.99.
