In case you’ve
forgotten about them, Zynga still exists. And they still have enough money
to acquire other smaller game development companies. The Farmville company just
announced that, for $527 million dollars, they’ve bought NaturalMotion—the creators of the Backbreaker, Clumsy Ninja and CSR Racing series—and that they’ll be
reducing their workforce by 15%. A note from former Xbox exec Don Mattrick explains
things here. With
this move, Zynga now has some promising franchises and a middleware business.
They might just surprise folks yet.
