Conventionally, selling your business may be seen as an exercise in taking the money and running. However, many mergers and acquisitions in the mobile games space are about helping developers to maximize the potential of their game and focus on things they love doing. We talk to Chris Petrovic, SVP and Head of Corporate Strategy, Mergers and Acquisitions and Business Development for Zynga about how developers should approach selling their business to ensure that they enter into a happy marriage.
