Zynga lets 100+ employees go, closes Boston studio and contemplating more closures

Zynga has reportedly let over 100 employees go from its Austin office, according to rumors on the web.

The story broke by Justin Maxwell on Twitter, who learned about the events from a friend who was dismissed. Details are sketchy right now, but those who were let go were apparently on The Ville and Zynga Bingo teams. We’ve reached out to Zynga and are awaiting a response.

The Austin office was the studio behind The Ville, the social game currently serving as the eye of a particularly nasty legal storm between Zynga and Electronic Arts.
