I got involved early on in social media - I created one of the first social networks - and for me, social gaming was a natural evolution of that.
I think you're defined as a company by what you choose to do and what you choose not to do.
Zynga made social gaming and play a worldwide phenomenon, and we remain the industry leader.
I think we live in a unique time - the verbs that make up our online and mobile lives haven't been completely invented or imagined for us. That was kind of a life path I was on.
People were hanging out in these places, and just like at cocktail parties, they needed something to do together. I thought, 'How can we fit games into someone's life?'
