Zynga stock plummets after Facebook IPO
The 
trading debut of Facebook didn’t exactly burst out of the gate like many people expected. But while the company was getting pounded in mid-day trading Monday, shares of “tracking” stocks — companies people invested in to own a piece of Facebook before it went public — have suffered terribly in its wake.
None more so than fellow social giant Zynga.
Facebook targets traditional gamers
Facebook 
games — whether they tie into larger entertainment properties or are island unto themselves — tend to have a formula.

of the social media site’s close ally Zynga briefly hit an all time low Friday and closed down precipitously. Editor at large Chris Morris looks at why investors fled – and what might lie ahead.

Curt Schilling’s game studio teeters on brink of disaster
Former 
Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling shocked a lot of people when he launched a video game studio following his retirement from baseball. Today, he might be wishing that he hadn’t followed that dream.
38 Studios, who partnered with EA earlier this year to release its debut title, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, is in the midst of a severe financial crisis. The developer was unable to pay its 379 employees this week, and is behind in making repayments to the state of Rhode Island, which loaned the company $75 million in 2010.
Zynga stock plunges as Facebook shares begin trading
Not everyone is celebrating the launch of Facebook on Wall Street.

Failed IPOs of the Dot-Com Bubble
The 
escalating price of buyouts and the valuations of recent IPOs have plenty of people worried we’re in — or approaching — another tech bubble. Experts are divided on how accurate those fears are, but there’s no denying the implosion that occurred around the turn of the century.
The first tech bubble saw ridiculous levels of spending — from both executives and venture capitalists — and it was only a matter of time before investors hopped on that bandwagon.
EA, Activision settle ‘Call of Duty’ lawsuit
