Social games developer Zynga&#8217;s first quarter earnings are out, which showcase a net income of $4.1 million. However, sales have declined by 18 percent to $264 million.</p>
<p>It was also revealed that daily active users dropped by 21 percent. In the same quarter of 2012, Zynga&#8217;s games had 65 million users and has now dropped to 52 million in Q1 2013. This means an 8 percent decrease over a quarterly basis, which monthly active users decreasing from 292 million to 253 million. Monthly unique users also decreased by 18 percent to 10 percent on a consecutive quarterly basis, from 182 million to 150 million users.</p>
<p>Even worse, CEO David Ko revealed that four more games would be shut down. These include The Ville, Empires &amp; Allies, Dream Zoo, and Tencent&#8217;s Zynga City. This is being done to help lower costs, as Ko has stated that all four titles have become &#8220;lower performing games.&#8221;</p>
<p>For now, Zynga will be introducing its first round of real money gambling titles in the UK, namely ZyngaPlusPoker and ZyngaPlusCasino.</p>
