OMGPop, stylized as OMGPOP and formerly known as i'minlikewithyou or iilwy, was a defunct game studio by Zynga Inc., and casual online multiplayer gaming website built entirely in Adobe Flash. OMGPop stated on its homepage that it is "a place to hang out, play free online multiplayer games, and make friends." ==History== OMGPop was based in SoHo, in New York City. The company received seed funding from Y Combinator during its early days as a startup. The website was listed on ''Time'' magazine's 50 Best Websites of 2009. On 21 March 2012, Zynga announced that it will acquire OMGPop for $180 million, saying "It is our mission to provide consumers with fun, free games. We believe OMGPop will help us fulfill our promise." Mark Pincus, CEO of Zynga, announced in an official blog post on 3 June 2013 that the company would be laying off 18% of its employees in order to restructure the company and cut back on finances. Many former OMGPop employees were laid off, and the New York office was one of the three that Zynga shut down. While this has been reported as the closure of OMGPop, the omgpop.com website remained active. However, in a statement issued by parent company Zynga in July 2013, it was announced that the site would close on 30 September 2013,〔http://www.zyngaplayersupport.com/article/all/Announcement-OMGPOPcom-Closure-en_US-1375113624757〕 with four games – ''Cupcake Corner'', ''Gem Rush'', ''Pool World Champ'' and ''Snoops'' – being phased out on 29 August 2013.〔http://www.zyngaplayersupport.com/article/all/Announcement-OMGPOPcom-Game-Closures-en_US-1375114847142〕 〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OMGPop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
