The publisher and developer of Storm8, the creator of the Dragon Story game, invited two people from Zynga to join his team – Tim LeTourneau and Steve Parkis. Letourneau will take the post of creative director, and Parkis will become the head of the game direction.

Zynga is still feverish. Maytal Olsha, head of slots for social and mobile platforms, left the company for her own startup.As it became known recently, Olsha left her job a month ago.

Zynga is constantly surrounded by a strange, near-scandalous fleur. The company, famous for being one of the first to earn seriously in the social games market, has been throwing “into the heat, then into the cold” for two years now.

Indie studio SuperMoon Games, which was created by natives of Zynga, is preparing to leave the monster corporation with a nose.

Zynga has launched a new version of its hit Zynga Poker on mobile devices.

At a press conference dedicated to the Zynga development strategy for 2014 (about it in a separate article), it became known: Zynga buys the British publisher and developer of mobile games NaturalMotion for $ 527 million.

The losses of the social company over the past three months amounted to an “insignificant” amount of $ 68 thousand. This may well be called a breakthrough, given that over the same period last year, Zynga lost more than $ 52 million.

Former Zynga employee Todd Arnold has become the head of the growing games division of Tango, a mobile messaging service.

Chukong Technologies, which owns CocoaChina and Punchbox, transfers the companies under its brand and officially announces the “registration of relations” with the Cocos2D cross-platform game engine. 

The other day, Zynga announced that it was closing almost all assets related to OMGPOP, which it bought a year ago.

Despite the stated course for the transition to the mobile market, 70% of Zynga game users still remain online. And their company loses.
