Zynga acquires developer Five Mobile, turns it into Zynga Toronto

by Griffin McElroy on Jul 8th 2011 10:25PM

Much like the Borg, assimilating all the sentient lifeforms in the known universe; and also much like a really, really fat guy eating all the pasta in the world and turning it into energy for his body, Zynga has announced its 15th acquisition in a little over a year. The devoured company this time is Toronto-based dev Five Mobile, a freelance firm that creates licensed apps for any brands which require their services. Which, for the foreseeable future, is Zynga.

The developer has been renamed "Zynga Toronto," and will fit squarely in the left shoulder socket of Zynga's Voltron-esque compartmentalized robot. Oh, you didn't know Zynga was working on that? Yeah, they totally mentioned it on their last conference call. You should really pay more attention.

Damn you Zynga!!!!!! *shakes fist*

Assimilate. Resistance is futile

You know what this reminds me of?
The "Cheezeburger" network.
Seriously, go to http://icanhascheezburger.com/ and look at the amount of websites under its umbrella.

Why is it somehow not shocking that a Zynga story is invaded by spam bots trying to get me to shop and buy stuff?

Join or Die!!

I still feel bad for Bonfire.

like a big ball of shit rolling downhill absorbing other balls of shit while it rolls down hill,

Heh, I've been watching the Voyager episodes with Borg these past few days.

Zynga keeps buying up all these little devs, but all the games I've seen from them look really similar. Do they need that many companies to make them?
