Davis has a big responsibility at Facebook. There are more than 400 million users on the social network, and the No. 1 activity they do is play games. And while those games are free, Facebook and publishers such as Zynga are making hundreds of millions of dollars through virtual goods purchases. So Davis has to keep them happy, even as Facebook redesigns its user interface to be friendlier to everyone, not just gamers. And he also have to keep the thousands upon thousands of game developers happy as well. He headed the creation of Facebook’s new Games Dashboard, which helps gamers manage games and discover new ones. Davis appeared at our first GamesBeat event and he has been forever cursed with the title we gave him: Facebook’s chief gaming dude.
