This acquisition demonstrates the wisdom of investing in people rather than products. A good team will be flexible and have the ability to take advantage of small pieces of success and build them into hard-won 'luck'.<p>Being lucky requires the ability to see when you've been handed an advantage and the tenacity to step into and exploit a lucky situation.<p>Many people just let luck pass them by.
Is it a cash deal though? If not, it might take a few years until their stock vests and until than zynga might not be worth much. So i really hope it's at least 50% cash.
Any issues dealing with a Zynga and their business practices? Will the founders and later employees of OMGPOP be protected from Zynga's underhandedness (reported aggressive clawbacks)?
