Zynga the maker of giant social games such as FarmVille and Mafia wars has once again purchased a studio that has made a game bigger than any of theirs. Zynga has just purchased OMGPOP creators of Draw Something, the addicting drawing game that's available for Android and iOS devices. Draw Something was released six weeks ago and since then it has not stop growing at an amazing rate. The successful application was able to become the number one app in the paid, free, and top grossing categories for iOS devices. Zynga recognized the potential the game had and decided to buy the whole studio that made it. Details of the purchase have not been revealed but sources inside of the studio are saying the deal was closed at around $220 million.

This isn't the first time Zynga buys a small studio that has made a game that tops any of their games. Zynga purchased the creators of Words With Friends last year and they were able to double their daily users in about 120 days, similar results are expected for Draw Something which already has 20.5 million daily users.

OMGPOP, what a gay name...

Hmm maybe now Zynga can come up with something not related to poker... :dumb:

sorry :fa:

Acquisitions like these can be risky for companies. Draw Something is very sucessful but we will have to wait and see what Zynga does with it. Will it get better or will it get worse?

Zynga is a cheapscape company that targets children into entering parents information to acquire more money... Every time I've played one of their damn games on the computer, I get targeted by viruses because their security is a load of shit.
