Zynga has closed down 11 of its social games this week, including PetVille, Mafia Wars 2, Vampire Wars and Mafia Wars Shakedown. Some of the titles were completely shut down, while others were pulled from app stores or simply stopped accepting new players. Zynga intends to reallocate resources to more successful titles while working to create new games. This wasn’t a sudden end-of-game move, as the company said back in October that it would be shuttering some underperforming titles.
