Regarding Zygna, I read this yesterday and found it pretty interesting. I wonder how Take Two will handle Zynga.

Probably like Bandai-Namco.
Take-Two-Zygna! (New motto: "Take it to Zynga!")
/s
Honestly have no idea what Zynga have ever done except I think they made that Farm Facebook game that all the boomers liked for a while. Guessing my interest in them won't change after this.

Deal happened pretty fucking fast. about four months?
Yep. Announced in Jan a week before the MS Activision deal.
If you say "Sell Don, Buy Zinga" 3x fast, you'll see the truth was there the whole time.

To be fair, Take-Two and Zynga doesn't have major lawsuits happening during the course of an acquisition, unlike Microsoft/ActivisionBlizzard.
This means Take-Two (2K) owns the rights to Euphoria from NaturalMotion. (Backbreaker Football and tech from GTA4, Star Wars Unleashed)
So maybe NM can stop making mobile games now (yeah right) and expand on their tech for 2K games like NBA 2K and their upcoming NFL Arcade game...WWE Series...and much more.

Yes.
Take Two couldn't find a dev they liked to make GTA Mobile so they bought Zynga to make GTA Mobile for them.
I'm pretty sure that ship sailed once they were bought by Zynga. They're all in on Star Wars Hunters and CSR racing. They only mention the iOS version of Backbreaker on their site lolThis means Take-Two (2K) owns the rights to Euphoria from NaturalMotion.

Mobile games make a ton of money and Zynga has Farmville, Words with Friends and Draw Something among others which were all really hot(not sure if they still are)

Do any of the people who worked on Euphoria Physics and that tech stack even work there anymore? It's been neglected for a while now, hasn't it?
The industry seems to really be going into a big shake-up phase. It's going to be interesting looking where things sit in a few years.
Not sure which one was worse.
Renderware being murdered by EA, or Euphoria murdered by Zynga.
At least in the former's case, Unity became available for general use only a few years later, and Unreal 4 not too long after... But I've seen no viable replacements for Euphoria ever since Zynga acquired NaturalMotion for their mobile game development and completely left their actual Tech to die on the vine.
Guess alot of people missed this lol

I also am surprised; it's a really incredible turnaround. At its peak (when they went public in 2012) Zynga was a monster worth more than EA (!). But thanks to massive platform changes by Facebook and the rise of F2P, they lost more than 85% of that value in the same year. A quick look at their stock suggests they didn't really start growing again until 2017, presumably when reinvesting (and reinventing) into a largely mobile/online company worked.
The 2 worst companies regarding monetization have finally decided to stop delaying the inevitable and wed. Not that I have ever bought their stuff, but I would stop.
Yeah, i was confused by some of the early comments and starting to think maybe i can see the future.Guess alot of people missed this lol

Yeah, it's really not a full merger. Zynga is now a subsidiary, so they still retain the name. :(
