Microsoft is currently in the process of acquiring Activision-Blizzard, where there are several parties who do not agree with the matter. In going through the process as well, now Microsoft also touches on some things involving them in the video game arena.
One of them, Microsoft stated that they had discussed with Zynga for its potential takeover. However, the matter was not realized.
Zynga has been popular with a number of games since the Friendster era, including game offerings like Mafia Wars and even Farmville. Besides that, Zynga is also famous in the first arena.
Microsoft at that time wanted to get a big company in the mobile gaming arena (first), and wanted to find something bigger than Zynga.
Zynga was later acquired by Take Two Interactive, the company behind the popular game Grand Theft Auto.
