If the information disclosed by The New York Times is correct, during the summer of this year, Rovio , known for Angry Birds , the game's most successful mobile phones, has rejected a takeover bid of 2.25 billion dollars.
According to three sources consulted by the paper, who had the intention to buy was the Finnish developer Zynga , creator of some of the games became the most played by users of Facebook , such as FarmVille and CityVille . Sources also revealed that the payment would be made both in cash and stock.Other investments made by Zynga have been PopCap , whose bid was the home of 950 million dollars, but this also declined to accept, and the reason is the bad reputation. The fact is that it submit its employees to work long hours and thus ended the studio after being sold to Electronic Arts for $ 1.3 billion.
One person who spoke with the newspaper said without identifying that while the rewards given to the good people are generous enough, with some even having won $ 100,000 in stocks, the atmosphere within the Zynga is quite heavy, with people divided into teams and a strong competition between them being fed.
Still, no company executive declined to comment on rumors.
