Zynga to soon file $15-20 billion IPO - Report

hmm...

Unless you're looking for a short term play I wouldn't run out and buy this stock. I agree with other posters who think the whole social media gaming thing is a fad that's going to run it's course over the next couple of years or so. I'd be interested to see once Zynga becomes public if they put out stats on active users for their games. It seems like each game they release is getting a shorter and shorter lifespan.

Can't believe people are really paying for their games. Hearing that Zynga is valued more than top publishers offering great gaming experiences kinda saddens me. I hope people will realize how boring these games really are and start to support the good publishers offering great gaming experiences instead of these simple browser games.

thats very good

Goldman Sachs... that name will forever be tied to villainy and greed in my world. I curse thee: May you earn all the money you want... but have to spend it all on doctors and operations.

Games like Farmville are a fad that will eventually die out. People get tired of clicking in endless repetition for basic, boring tasks. However, social network gaming is here to stay and very lucrative. The challenge is for talented developers to take advantage of the trend without dumbing down their games.

This is just frustrating.I am not a developer, but still I can see something is just WRONG

Goldman Sachs.... now where have I heard that name.... oh yeah, that was the banking system that f****** our economy so horribly by selling bad loans to citizens and making billions profit while those citizens lost billions. I think I'll be staying away from this like the plague.

Mmm A) I wouldn't want to support the kinds of games zynga makes. Although I do believe that there's room for GOOD social games that actually utilize the social networking space in a better way. And B) I wouldn't invest in something that's success is completely riding on the success of something else aka Facebook. If Facebook goes down or we move onto a different social networking space ala myspace > facebook, Zynga's success and value could drastically change in the blink of an eye

Thanks to Zynga, this is what games are going to become, addiction and repetition, thanks Zynga, thanks casual gamers.

It saddens me to know that such a company is making so so so much money while hard working,talented developers get fired or just try making a living with small but amazing games that go unnoticed.

That's nice. Still doesn't change the fact that they suck.

Ugh, the bigger Zynga is the worse off the world. Nothing good comes out of them. My Facebook is littered with updates about the amount of crops that insecure teenage girls managed to spend their afternoon farming and trying to shot off how cute they are in the process....maybe I should do some unfriending lol.

Zynga and its games are a joke. I hope this "social gaming" turns out to just be a fad that lasts a year or two more.

@InflictedOwned Initial Public Offering..basically they are going public (in order to raise more money) and you can buy their stocks after that.

uhhh what's an IPO?
