About Zynga
Zynga built its business on Facebook games including FarmVille and later on mobile titles such as Words With Friends. Take-Two acquired it in 2022 for about $12.7 billion, buying a mobile business it had no comparable position in. Its name comes from the founder's late American bulldog, and the company was among the first to prove that games distributed through a social network could be a large business.
