Google Games? Google Invests Over 100 Million In Zynga?
A rumor has recently surfaced pointing to Google secretly investing somewhere between 100 and 200 million in social games developer Zynga. The purported investment is alleged to be part of a Zynga partnership in preparation for the launch of Google Games.
Google Games is reported to allow folks to play popular Zynga titles like Farmville without logging into Facebook. Instead they’ll log in with their Google info and perform microtransactions using Google Checkout instead of PayPal.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
