This deal total is similar, but with $500MM in cash and a smaller earn out. Good for the management team structuring the deal with more beneficial terms for shareholders.
It will be interesting to see how Disney's massive promotional reach and IP library can impact the value relative to Zynga. Will Zynga's mastery of product management and game design stand up to Disney's juggernaut of recognizable brands?
