The article cites “people familiar with the matter,” and notes that Zynga, publisher of FarmVille, Mafia Wars and other popular Facebook games, filed papers last April that valued the company at $4 billion. According to the report, however, “any decision to raise a fresh round of funding” by Zynga “could be weeks away and may not happen.” (A subscription is required to click through to the story.)
If the talks come to fruition, though, the valuation would put Zynga in the realm of other hot social media companies. Twitter, for instance, was recently valued at $8 billion to $10 billion, according to another report. Groupon, meanwhile, is said to be v alued at between $15 billion and $20 billion.
A Zynga rep could not be reached for comment on the report.
