- minimaxir 13y agoThey did exactly that for OMGPOP/Draw Something. Second time's the charm?
- Colliers 13y agoTheir middleware is very valuable. They have probably the best behavioral procedural animation system that is most notably used by Rockstar Games in GTAIV&V, Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Redemption.
- teamonkey 13y agoIt doesn't really fit with Zynga's portfolio though, does it?
- vecter 13y agoThat's the point, isn't it? Zynga wants to expand its mobile skillset.
- asadlionpk 13y agoregardless, the company is worth more than that IMO. I was very much impressed by the tech used in Clumsy Ninja.
- madaxe_again 13y agoThey're going to make porn games with it. Sounds crazy, but you heard it here first.
- kayoone 13y agoThe team is gold. They understand mobile gaming like noone else and actually had a row of hit games already. MyHorse, Backbreaker, CSR Racing, Clumsy Ninja
- holychiz 13y agotheir game physics engine is second to none, and they also got some of the best game designers.
