When Zynga broke onto the scene with its massive Facebook partnership the company appeared to be incapable of failing, every title was met with massive Facebook exposure and every title earned the company millions of dollars. Fast forward several years later and Zynga broke up its partnership with Facebook and its IPO price of $10 per share has plummeted to just $2.33 per share.

While Zynga has shut down 11 titles the company does still operate more than 30 games across its social gaming network.
