Was reading an article from the NY Times about Zynga getting $180 million in investment money from a Russian firm and came across this:
Holy carp! That's alot of little microtransactions for some bug-ridden games.
The companies did not disclose Zyngas valuation as a result of the new capital, but the game companys annual revenue has been reported to be around $250 million and growing quickly.
Two experts in Internet company finance said it would be reasonable for Zynga to command a valuation of two and a half to six times its annual revenue. That could put the value of the two-year-old Zynga at $1.5 billion; one industry insider believes the value could be as much as $3 billion.
