Kane99 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yup, you can read about it here: https://www.destructoid.com/take-two-acquires-zynga-12-7-billion-deal-farmville-gta-mobile-games/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=take-two-acquires-zynga-12-7-billion-deal-farmville-gta-mobile-games So it looks like Take-Two has bought out the mobile studio zynga for 12.7 billion dollars. Looks like Take Two wants to rack in even more profits, because zynga was probably making bank before they sold off. I don't know how i feel about it honestly. Because we all know they're going to push for big time profits. The mobile market is huge, and they just bought the biggest company out there.

skyfire Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Zynga has plenty of games which are passively making them money and now it would make money to the take-two. Interesting to see take-two is slowly becoming the giant. Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see take-two is slowly becoming the giant. I'm starting to get worried about it. I have fears they will neglect their video game side of things and focus more on mobile. But I think what will end up happening, is that zynga will do its thing and will continue to focus on mobile games. Maybe we'll get some Rockstar or other games from zynga now.

skyfire Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Video games are new mobile games. it's not like making mobile games ignores development of overall game structure. In game engine side, it's just an export to mobile nothing more than that. I am surprised why people think mobile games is a problem, when there is a lot of money for them plus more gamers are going mobile and not console.

Darth Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I'm guessing this is just a move to increase the size of their portfolio and company size. It will be interesting to see if anything else comes out of it especially related to the other game titles that Take-Two owns. I can't see them changing their priorities and pushing more for mobile games since Rockstar does amazingly with their console games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I don't think they would touch existing zynga things that are working but a lot of non performing assets maybe curbed I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I could've sworn this news was ancient. I must've been thinking of Activision-Blizzard's acquisition of King. And now they've been acquired, I wonder if Take-Two and Zynga's portion of the mobile market has become appealing to Microsoft. Interesting times are ahead.

skyfire Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I suppose now Microsoft buying something like streaming service makes sense. I think they turned out to be early in the process but it's late now that they made contract with facebook for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Man the times when Sony bought Insomniac for 230M, even Microsoft buying Zenimax for 7.5B looks like a good deal in comparison but I guess the revenue in mobile gaming is where it's at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Revenue in both mobile and console gaming is enormous. If it isn't rewarding that much, we couldn't have seen Microsoft acquiring the services of Activision blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Its just good that microsoft is not in the lead of the gates and balmer anymore, that would turn things evil like how CCP does to the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would they even buy? Ubisoft? I remember there was a rumored buyout of them years ago. That would be a huge get for Sony, but I don't think that would happen. I see them more buying up smaller studios and growing them out. But, they could make a similar move and try to buy a big company as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
