TechCrunch reported those numbers ($180M up front plus $30M earnout) as fact when the acquisition happened (http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/21/done-deal-zynga-gets-draw-s...).

Of course, that story is from TechCrunch ("You got your speculation in my journalism! YOU got your journalism in my speculation! Wait, you're BOTH right!"), so it may not be the definitive statement it appears to be.



I was more saying OMGPOP not getting the earn-out was speculation, not the numbers themselves. Who knows where the bar was set for the earn-out?


Yes, that was what I was saying. Given the steep writedown in less than a year, I doubt that OMGPOP hit its targets that would have earned it its full earn out. I could elab, but I really think that statement makes sense?
