Zynga continues its gradual downfall, as the social game maker has now pulled the plug on three more games.<\/p>\n

This news comes after the company closed down 11 games in the beginning of January, including \u00a0Mafia Wars 2, Vampire Wars, Forestville, FishVille, and PetVille.<\/p>\n

Now CityVille 2, The Friend Game, and Party Place have been axed, and will no longer be active on Facebook.<\/p>\n

All three of the games were launched in Q4 2012, along with three others, CoasterVille, Bubble Safari Ocean, and Ayakashi, which, for the meantime, will remain active.<\/p>\n

Zynga reported a net loss $209.4 million for its last financial year, along with full-year revenue of $1.28 billion.<\/p>\n

The company also reported that Fourth Quarter revenues came in at $311 million, which\u00a0surprisingly\u00a0exceeded\u00a0analyst expectations.<\/p>\n
