Zynga, Facebook game and vacuous
money-trap maker is running to cut costs to save its fast falling
share price. Almost 11 titles are being shut down that includes
PetVille, Mafia Wars 2, Vampire wars and many more just Farmville
remains safe.
Zynga is sure to be received with just
a small amount of schadenfreude and reserve a though for all those
who are genuinely affected. The PetVille Facebook post introduce its
closure which has been flooded with an outpouring of despair from
players.It will be easy to dismiss Zynga's actions but core gaming
publishers will not step up to shut down servers as games will stop
being profitable.
The problem arises here with PetVille
which is supported by micro transactions and some users who will have
inevitably spent significant amounts of money in the game. The
publishers will increasingly experiment with free-to-play options
which could increasingly rear its head. Zynga has aid off its over
hundred employees last year and there is also a news that social
giant is shutting down its Zynga Japan studio. Zyngashuts down PetVille, but the
closures were occurred as some PetVille players reported that they
can still access the game.
Zynga will still have 30 game title
available over Facebook, Zynga.com, iOS, MySpace, Android and other
several social sites. Zynga offers players with rewards and bonus
packages to these players in other games.
