<p>Zynga mentioned Facebook 204 times in its <a href="http://sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1439404/000119312511180285/ds1.htm#toc198836_2">S-1 filing</a>. Zynga's fortune is Facebook's fortune, so we wondered, what keeps the game maker up at night? Zynga had plenty of concerns about its dependency on Facebook: terms of service changes, changes to the credits policy, changes to the way it can communicate with Facebook users, and fear of being booted from the platform.</p>
<p>Of course, the ultimate worst case scenario: Zynga fails if Facebook fails.<!--more--> According to Zynga, there are only two serious threats to Facebook long term and across the world:</p>
<blockquote><p>1. Companies and governmental agencies could decide to block access to Facebook or the Internet.</p>
<p>2. Facebook could lose its market position or "otherwise fall out of favor with Internet users."</p></blockquote>
<p>So basically, the Chinese attitude and the MySpace effect.</p>
