Zynga, Mark Pincus quasi in lacrime

Spread the love

Zynga

A vederlo così, con il suo look alla Steve Carell in “40 Anni Vergine” Mark Pincus sembra l’uomo più felice della Terra. E del resto questo ragazzone ha tutti i motivi per sorridere, visto che è l’ideatore di titoli milionari come FarmVille, CityVille e della maggior parte dei giochi Zynga.

Eppure il fondatore della società non sta passando un buon momento e come riportano varie fonti Pincus sarebbe andato vicino alle lacrime nel corso di un recente meeting finanziario con diversi investitori. Zynga è in crisi, le azioni dell’azienda valgono poco più di due dollari (contro i dieci iniziali) e nel complesso la percezione verso Zynga è decisamente negativa.

Lo studio sembra aver perso il suo tocco magico e gli ultimi prodotti (ad eccezione di FarmVille 2) non sembrano aver riscosso il successo sperato. Negli ultimi mesi Zynga ha lanciato diversi titoli che non hanno centrato gli obiettivi e l’acquisizione di Draw Something (costata 180 milioni di dollari) ha dato una bella botta alle casse della società.

Nonostante l’imminente arrivo di titoli come CityVille 2 Zynga non sembra in grado di riprendersi da questo brutto periodo. Lo scopo di Mark Pincus ora sarà quello di traghettare l’azienda da sviluppatrice di giochi social a editore di titoli mobile per smartphone e tablet, mercato che viene generalmente considerato più sicuro rispetto a quello dei giochi Facebook.

  1. The potential within all things is a mystery that fascinates me endlessly. A tiny seed already contains within it the entire blueprint of a towering tree, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Does the seed know what it will become? Do we? Or are we all simply waiting for the right conditions to awaken into what we have always been destined to be?

  2. Time is often called the soul of motion, the great measure of change, but what if it is merely an illusion? What if we are not moving forward but simply circling the same points, like the smoke from a burning fire, curling back onto itself, repeating patterns we fail to recognize? Maybe the past and future are just two sides of the same moment, and all we ever have is now.

  3. Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.

  4. The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.

  7. If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

  8. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.

  9. The cosmos is said to be an ordered place, ruled by laws and principles, yet within that order exists chaos, unpredictability, and the unexpected. Perhaps true balance is not about eliminating chaos but embracing it, learning to see the beauty in disorder, the harmony within the unpredictable. Maybe to truly understand the universe, we must stop trying to control it and simply become one with its rhythm.
