what?

also, how many people use Zynga?

Honestly, I haven't used Zynga since Myspace. I don't even think I know anybody who still uses Zynga.

I played a few Zynga games on Facebook in 2010 but since then social games have been dying. I too don't know anyone who plays them any more

This isn't a really good idea from him in my opinion. He left one of the largest companies in the world for a failing social game company? it doesn't make much sense to me. Hopefully he can turn the tables for Zynga once again

Wow, that was a pretty dumb idea.

Well considering he is now CEO which is higher up in the chain than he was in, I'm assuming he get's paid more. Unless MS paid him a ridiculous amount which I highly doubt.

It was a stupid move for him, but I think he just wants to help Zynga out. Get them kinda back on their feet I guess, then he might return to Microsoft?
