Mark Pincus Steps Down From All Operational Roles at Zynga

I would not try to sell the comapny to Yahoo or Facebook, I would sell it to Amazon. If Amazon isn't interested I would:

- Cut the employees from 2k to like 500 (That's just a guess. I don't know enough about their structure to say a real number)

- Milk their Facebook hits (and keep the staff to do so)

- License my IP (Farmville, Mafia Wars, Draw Something) to any PC, console or mobile developer that will not embarrass me.

- Take a few longshot bets on FTP PC or Mobile games. Not too many so I can stay focused, and not too expensive so I can keep trying.

- Encourage employees to work on their own games during work hours. Zynga takes a small percentage ownership of the games and will distribute/market the games using every available resource at it's disposal.
