Zynga, one of the leading companies in the field of social gaming, has officially brought its popular game CityVille to China with the introduction of “Zynga City” in the country.
However, Zynga will not be partnering with the world’s biggest social networking site, Facebook, for the introduction of Zynga City.
The company revealed on Monday that it will instead be working with Chinese gaming giant Tencent for the release of Zynga City in the country.
In a report from The Associated Press, CityVille is said to currently be the most popular game on Facebook being played by 80 million people every month based on data from analytics firm AppData.
However, Facebook is banned in China hence the need for Zynga to release Zynga City in partnership with a company local to China.
A report from PC Magazine says that the new Zynga City was developed by the company’s Zynga China studio and will feature landmarks and other Chinese artifacts.

Netflix has revealed that the online movie rental service will not be integrated with the social networking website Facebook across the United States of America.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the online movie rental service provider, Netflix in a letter to its shareholders announced that it is integrating the service with leading social networking website Facebook. However, the service via Facebook will be offered only in Canada and South America and not in the USA.
“Netflix says it will have a cool integration with Facebook up and running sometime in the next three months, but only for subscribers in Canada and Latin America (where it has yet to officially open for business).” the letter read.
The chief executive officer of Netflix, Reed Hastings has revealed that the US launch will not happen due to concerns over an American privacy legislation which could stop them from the integration. Hastings blamed the government for this glitch citing that he never heard of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) before.
The act which came into effect in 1988 prohibits revelation of information regarding video rental details of a user in the US. Under this law, companies found violating may be charged $2,500 for every disclosure.
