Overview
Zynga develops social games primarily for mobile and web platforms, with popular titles like FarmVille and Words With Friends. Their games are designed to be engaging and accessible, featuring social elements that allow players to connect with friends. This focus on social interaction helps keep users engaged and encourages them to return to the games. Zynga targets casual gamers who prefer quick and easy entertainment on their smartphones and tablets. The company uses a freemium model, offering free downloads with optional in-game purchases for enhancements, as well as generating revenue through advertising. Zynga also partners with organizations like Amazon Prime and educational initiatives to expand its reach and support social causes.
