TIL that Zynga still exists.

They are still a pretty big deal.

Take-Two Interactive announced in January 2022 its intent to buy Zynga for $12.7 billion. The deal was completed in May 2022.

According to Take-Two Interactive, about 10% of the world's population plays Zynga's games every month.

For context, that buyout value is $4.5 billion more than Microsoft paid for ZeniMax Media.
