Zynga’s Two-Billion-Dollar Bid Wasn’t Enough to Buy Angry Birds
January 01, 0001 | By **A. Sinclair**
The company behind Farmville has money. Lots of it. And, for more than a year, they’ve been buying up smaller development houses left and right. But, Rovio—the development house that created mobile megahit Angry Birds—turned down Zynga when they came calling with mountains of cash.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); Y1 Game }); An article on the Bloomberg business news site reveals that Zynga reportedly offered more than $2 billion to acquire the Finnish all yono app company, only to be rebuffed. Rovio wasn’t the only one to say 
no to Zynga either. Rolando makers 
Ngmoco turned them down and EA beat out Zynga when the two companies both tried to snatch up Popcap, best known for Plants Vs. Zombies
Zynga 
currently has $1.8 billion in cash and the San Francisco-based outfit’s looking to address its big weaknesses, which are an over-reliance on Facebook and a weak foothold in the mobile space. Angry Birds would’ve helped with that, but Zynga’s hopes of caging yono all rummy the popular avians came crashing down like a green pig’s house.
