Social network Tagged, the new owner of Hi5, has said it will close down its third-party development platform.
The company bought the struggling games portal last year, and will now replace third-party content with its own games developed in-house, reports Techcrunch.
According to Tagged marketing exec Steve Sarner, Hi5 "wasn't nearly as vibrant as we felt it could be or should be" and the site "will become a Tagged.com experience with a Hi5 wrapper."
Tagged is a social network with a range of pets, café, farm and mafia games on offer.
