Mafia Wars 2, PetVille nixed in cost cutting

Zynga has put down 11 of its games as part of cost-cutting measures for the struggling social games giant. Several of the titles were created and curated by Zynga Japan, which will also shut down at the end of January, according to GamesIndustry International.

Zynga's support page for monster battling game Montopia specifies that in-app purchases were ceased in November and no refunds will be given for remaining funds. Players did receive a complimentary premium code for iOS collectible card game Ayakashi: Ghost Guild.

Zynga will still have more than 30 active games across social and mobile networks, as well as publishing partnerships on games like Horn.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
