Future looking bad for Zynga
In the last year the troubled company has had to deal with some high profile execs resigning from the company, laying off 5 percent of their staff and the closure of their Boston Studio. They've also had to close down 13 of their least popular games, which recently had Mafia Wars 2 added to the list.
As well as news that the companies share price has plummeted by 73 percent since the company started trading publicly.
All this has been too much for Zynga CEO, Mark Pincus who was reportedly close to tears during a meeting with company investors. Pincus has placed the blame for Zynga's downfall to a "rapid change in player habits."
Zynga seem to have now changed their focus more towards mobile gaming and gambling.

CyberPunk Facebook games are always way too lacking, rather tedious and annoying in regards to the spam they put out and just generally i think only really a real last resort for games for many people

Too bad. I used to like games like this. Not the gay "...ville" ones, but like the mafia ones.

This had to happen the games are so basic that most people that learn basic coding could make them and they are not really fun after 3 months
