As a result of its troubles, the developer revealed a $63 million net loss for its Q2 2014 financial results. It also revealed that its net loss for the third quarter is projected to fall somewhere between $52 and $57 million.
It’s not all bad news as Zynga revealed that it would entering the sports genre, having signed a multi-year licensing deal with NFL and NFL Players Inc. This will see real-life NFL teams and athletes appearing in its future titles as indicated with the recently released NFL Showdown, a management sim.
