Zynga has announced that it will be closing down OMGPOP.com from September 30th meaning that numerous titles will also be put to sleep in the process.
Gamers may remember that OMGPop was originally the place to find Draw Something before Zynga bought the rights to the company after it became a worldwide success story a few years ago, closing the website means that Cupcake Corner, Gem Rush, Pool World Champ and Snoops will be no longer available despite having 30,000 monthly active users that were actually generating revenue for Zynga.
What makes this story even worse is that numerous former OMGPOP staff offered to buy the games that will be shutting down alongside their IP rights and the online games portal itself but Zynga has refused.
