In June 2008 we were approached by what was to come a very large Social Gaming company with a view to buying us out. The numbers were big and there was huge temptation to take the money and run… it gave us a lot to think about.
At the time we didn’t class ourselves as a ‘startup’ but this last week has raised a lot of questions in my head again. With Zynga taking over Serious Business and rumours circulating about Microsoft lining up a $200m acquisition of CrowdStar the question is raised as to what’s a good strategy for Facebook development companies.
