In an interview given to reporters at the Reuters media Summit, Zynga CEO Mark Pincus spoke highly of his own company. Within the interview Pincus gave two memorable quotes that should worth noting. First he said that the “market for social gaming will be the whole web and the mobile web.” In itself, that’s a bit over-reaching, but perhaps he’s true. We’ve quickly become a world where harvesting strawberries can be done with a click of the mouse or swipe of the finger.
Pincus also declared, “I think that eventually more than half of the population of people who are socially connected will participate in social games.”
I suppose it’s a attractive attitude to take when your company is the current cash-cow inside of Facebook that everyone is talking about. Could you just imagine everyone playing Farmville or Mafia Wars? I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad purpose for society.
Also, Pincus shared that Farmville and Mafia Wars have been profitable for Zynga for the past eight quarters and he “sees no reason to raise capital in a public stock offering anytime soon.”
