Gamers are probably aware that Zynga [developer of famous Facebook games such as Farmville] is a pretty nicely rounded company due to the large successes in their dealings with Facebook.  Did you know, though, that it’s actually a more “wealthy” company than EA?  It has been confirmed that Zynga stock is valued at $5.51 billion, which is several hundred million above EA’s $5.22 billion.

A dark day for “hardcore” gamers everywhere?  Naw, can’t be.  Then again, I’ve got some crops to go plow and some Bejeweled to play, so perhaps I’m a tad biased.

Over the weekend X-box.com updated it’s UK page with the date “November 17th” listed for face book and Twitter support. Since then the date has been changed to “Autumn 2009″.  The damage has been done though. There is not much Microsoft can do at this point except deny the date was ever listed until they announce it or release the update.
