Zynga Buys Mobile And Video Game Developer Floodgate Entertainment

In Zynga's 10th acquisition in ten months, the social gaming giant is announcing the acquisition of Massachusetts game developer Floodgate Entertainment. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Floodgate has developed a number of casual, mobile and PC titles, including MoPets, Madden 2005 and 2006, Nascar 07, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Flowerz and others. Floodgate's team of developers and engineers will join the Zynga Boston team (which was started via Zynga's Conduit Labs acquisition). Floodgate's founder, Paul Neurath, will be joining Zynga Boston joining as Creative Director. This seems to be partly a talent acquisition as Neurath is a seasoned game developer, who has over two decades of experience in the industry.
