Chasing more engaged users, Zynga acquires ‘midcore’ social game startup A Bit Lucky

The game Horn in the app store was released with good reviews. I was really hesitant to buy it just because Zynga was listed as the game's maker, and I think Zynga's terrible reputation comes from them milking you for energy or whatever (at least that's my impression of them). But I read up on Horn and it turned out that Zynga put no limitations or anything on Phosphor Games and left the actual game entirely up to Phosphor. Zynga and Phosphor apparently forged a partnership so Zynga could advertise Horn in their other games and delay or avoid the complete disappearance of interest that happened with Phosphor's Dark Meadow.

Dunno why I just typed that all out, I just found it interesting. Horn is a pretty good game, by the way.
