Glu Mobile is a leading global developer and publisher of "freemium" games for smartphone and tablet devices. Shares of the company fell sharply earlier this month as the company warned fourth-quarter results would be impacted by poor performances of games launched in the third quarter. Revenues in the fourth quarter are expected to be between $19.5 million and $20.5 million.
Under terms of a new contract Zynga will no longer require users to login through Facebook to access their games. "Zynga's mission is to connect the world through games," Barry Cottle, Zynga's chief revenue officer, said in a statement. "In order to do this, Zynga is focused on building enduring relationships with consumers across all platforms from Facebook and Zynga.com on the Web to tablets and mobile."
