|

http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/22/sources-popcap-buyer-is-ea/
| Quote: | Following up on our story earlier this evening that PopCap Games is in late stage acquisition discussions for a sum of over $1 billion — we’ve now heard from two sources that the buyer is Electronic Arts.
The high price of the deal ($1+ billion) means that this would be a huge bet for EA — we’re talking over 13% of the company’s market cap. But we’re hearing that this is a Hail Mary pass from EA to break into mobile and social gaming — areas where the company hasn’t done nearly as well as it has in the console arena. |

what makes zynga worth so much? speculation based on the number of people who use facebook and play crappy games?
do they actually make a profit to warrant their suposed "worth" or is it like facebook and one day maybe just maybe someone will be able to capitalise on the suposed worth
activision made more in 2010 Q1 than zynga made in the whole of 2010...
how can you claim a company is worth all these billions if they arent making profits to warrant it?
its bullshit and the reason market traders commit suicide and banks lose billions of investment money

Speculation? What the hell are you talking about? It has nothing to do with speculation. They make BILLIONS from their "crappy" facebook games. Quit being a jealous baby.

Calm the fuck down, you angry little boy. I never said they were worth more than Activision, so get your fucking neck in. You have no idea the amount of money derps spend on those Facebook games, it's a disgustingly profitable enterprise.

| Quote: | | Zynga's current monthly revenue has been estimated at $50 million per month, according to an analysis by entrepreneur Steven Carpenter. He estimates Zynga's margins at 30%, which would mean Zynga generates roughly $15 million per month in pure profit. Carpenter also estimates that Zynga single-handedly makes up about 44% of the market for social gaming. |
we dont? worth billions but doesnt actually make it , could be worth a few million a few years down the line whene veryone gets tired of shit facebook games or the market gets saturated.
noone has nay loyalty to zynga they wont be worth the speculated silly amount when everyone else gets in on facebook games.
claiming they are worth more than companies that have been around for 20-30 years that have a proven track records of healthy profits and they make these profits year in year out is horseshit derp noob shit

cos your a fucking retard who cant do simple maths to realise a company making less than company X can not be worth more than company X
unless they have assets and zynga does not.
"worth more than EA and just less than activision" ROFL they are not even in the same league
sabin pronounced sa-bin - one who can not change his opinion nor the subject.

I'll take industry analysts and stock market reports over your incoherent rambling any day of the week. Say, how's the VIP room treating you? Oh that's right... I forgot. Don't worry, I'm sure you can whine on Leo's FB page the next time you throw your toys out the pram.
I can't believe I actually felt sorry for you over the constant e-bullying. Boy, how wrong was I, eh? Now shuffle on, child, you're disrupting the thread.
