"Zynga.com brings people a new way to connect with friends and meet new people who love to play, and it gives our players an easy way to discover new games they might enjoy," said Rob Dyer, VP of partner publishing, Zynga. "We're thrilled to be working with our partners to bring the first set of third-party games to our network of players on Zynga.com and Facebook, and are excited to help our players discover new games by shining a light on some of the most talented game developers in the industry." First announced in March 2012, Zynga Platform is a social gaming platform and network designed to give players the most social and fun gaming experience wherever they play — by offering new ways to connect with other people who love games — while helping third-party developers of all sizes launch, promote, scale and grow their games and business. Zynga also enables partners to tap into channels and features that increase social engagement, as well as leverage analytics that measure and drive social experiences. In June 2012, Zynga also announced Zynga Partners for Mobile, opening its doors to mobile game developers to help distribute and promote their games to Zynga's global network of players. Zynga recently launched its first third party game with Horn for iOS and Android, developed by one of its first partners, Phosphor Games.
