mentuat Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Predictably now that Facebook are letting anyone upload content to the 'Instant Games' platform - it's being flooded with stolen HTML5 games The copyright form https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1758255661104383 needs a URL leading to the specific content but the games open in an overlay so there is no direct link to them (beyond inspecting the element), nor is there a way to effectively search by 'developer' or game title within Facebook Was wondering if anyone had found a way to report and remove games within this platform yet?

mazoku Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 You can play the instant game on desktop browser on facebook (once you've played it on mobile you will get it suggested in desktop too) and the game comes with app id in the url. mentuat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazoku Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Also you can reach some people from facebook team from the instant games group there. Edit: I hate facebook, their instant games api, their other apis, their support and everything fb related. quiphop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - once you've played it on desktop or mobile you get a little icon as a shortcut on your home page (or whatever you call it on Facebook) and that links direct to the game with it's own URL. I've requested to join the 'Instant Game Developer Community' group on FB but I am still 'pending' apparently I've got to admit I am finding Facebook very unintuitive to navigate - I don't know how everyone and their Auntie is able to use it so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubamara Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 you can right click on game to find app id, see attached picture then the game url is https://www.facebook.com/instantgames/THAT_NUMBER/ mentuat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmoondev Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 You can report stolen Instant Games using this link - https://m.facebook.com/help/contact/634636770043106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentuat Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 cheers, yeah - that appears to be the same page I used - hard to tell as different links seem to lead to the same pages on FB for reasons I'm sure make sense to them... On the plus side, I've been impressed with the instant games tools and documentation + the upload/test process is pretty painless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that the link @blackmoondev gave leads you to a site optimised for mobile devices ("m." in address) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
