The Return of the Prodigal Mark Pincus

According to the BBC, the founder of Zynga, Mark Pincus, is returning to the company as CEO to replace Don Mattrick, who joined the company in 2013.

In its latest report, Zynga said it had lost $ 225.9 million (£ 152 million) in 2014, compared with $ 37 million a year earlier. However, the report makes it clear that the mobile audience of igrodelov continues to grow. Previously, the company depended heavily on the Facebook platform, which generated most of the traffic. The company's shares rose more than 3% following the close of markets in the United States.

Salary as always striking the mind, Mark will work for one bucks.

Now that we are in first place in the mobile gaming market, it's time to focus on our vision of games for the mass market.

I am inspired by our future products that can raise the company to a new previously unattainable level. Empires & Allies, Dawn of Titans and FarmVille: Harvest Swap are on the heels of one of our most popular apps - Wizard of Oz Slots, which was launched last November.

I am returning to the company that I love in order to accelerate innovation in our greatest strengths. I look forward to your cooperation in order to retain millions of our users and attract new consumers.
