Online game maker Zynga prices IPO at $10 a share

Zynga IPO

Zynga is poised to harvest some cold hard cash in its initial public offering. Who knew that selling virtual cows and digital corn on Facebook would create a $7 billion company?

Senh: I have to say, I'm impressed. I didn't think anyone would pay for virtual items, but Zynga made that happen. $7B is not bad for a company that just makes Facebook apps.

With Zynga IPO Looming, CEO Mark Pincus Wants Employees To Return Stock

Zynga CEO Mark Pincus wants some of the online game company's early employees to give back stock they own ahead of the company's initial public offering of stock, according to a published report Thursday. The Wall Street Journal said that Pincus, who gave out stock freely to keep top talent early on, developed "giver's remorse."

Senh: There's nothing much you can do about that. They got in early and contributed when it counted most. It's not fair to current employees of Zynga, but they're also not risking as much as the early group of people.
