In early September, publisher and developer Zynga introduced a new version of Zynga Poker. The appearance of the game has been changed to “more sophisticated and modern”, according to the developers.
The reaction of the players to the innovations was mixed. Some of them appreciated the advantages of the updated style, while others demanded to return the game to its original appearance.
Zynga, in an attempt to please both, announced the launch of Zynga Poker Classic. The game will take its original “traditional” look. At the same time, the new version of the title will still be available for download. The user will be able to play in both versions under their credentials, while achievements (progress, winnings, etc.) will be saved.
“In order to preserve the advantages inherent in both variants of the game, we are preparing to offer two products – Zynga Poker Classic and the new Zynga Poker,” Vice president of the Zynga Poker project Jon B. Liu said in his blog.

It was founded in 2007. Osovny capital earned on Texas Hold’em Poker (now Zynga Poker). In 2008, she collected investments for $29 million, which allowed her to acquire MyMiniLife, at that moment, who had just finished the Farmville time manager. In 2011, Zynga successfully entered the IPO, raising more than $1 billion during the placement of shares. Then the company continued its policy of acquiring promising companies. This led to a severe drop in income. As a result, in the summer of 2014, the founder of the company, Mark Pincus, resigned as CEO, giving way to the former head of Microsoft’s entertainment division, Don Mattrick.
