据techcrunch网站的报道，美国社交游戏开发商Zynga日前收购了德国游戏引擎开发商Dextrose。

Zynga快速增长，并在今年进行了大量收购。Zynga此前收购了中国XPD、日本Unoh Games、美国Conduit Labs和Challenge Games等游戏厂商。

Dextrose针对无插件浏览器游戏开发商业游戏引擎Aves Engine，该款游戏引擎允许开发者使用HTML、CSS和JavaScript技术，打造基于任何网页的2D和2.5D游戏。

与 Zynga此前进行的收购类似，Dextrose团队将成为Zynga的德国分部员工，这也将是公司在欧洲的首个工程师团队。Dextrose联席创始人保罗·巴考斯(Paul Bakaus)将成为Zynga德国分部的首席技术官，巴考斯是jQuery核心团队成员，帮助建立了jQuery UI用户界面架构。Dextrose联席创始人罗科·迪列奥(Rocco Di Leo)将成为Zynga德国分部业务经理，负责有关浏览器游戏技术开发的所有流程和组织。

Zynga拥有大量资金进行收购，公司还通过与谷歌、Facebook和雅虎建立合作关系，以进行扩张。

Zynga’s quest for world domination continues today, as the social gaming giant acquires the assets of German game engine developer Dextrose AG. Zynga has been growing fast and on an acquisition tear this year, buying up XPD in Beijing, Unoh Games in Tokyo, Conduit Labs in Boston, and Challenge Games in Austin.

Dextrose AG develops a commercial game engine for pluginless browser games. Called “Aves Engine,” the game engine technology allows developers to build any type of web based 2D or 2.5D game using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Similar to the nature of the company’s previous acquisitions, the Dextrose AG team will become Zynga Germany (based in Frankfurt). This will be the company’s first engineering presence in Europe (the company has an operational office in Dublin). Joining Zynga from Dextrose AG is co-founder Paul Bakaus, who will become CTO of Zynga Germany. Bakaus is a jQuery core team member, and helped create the user interface framework jQuery UI. Fellow Dextrose founder Rocco Di Leo will become Country Manager at Zynga Germany, responsible for all processes and organization involved in the development of future browser game technology.

Of course, with big profits and armed with a massive war chest (which recently got $150 million larger thanks to Softbank Capital), Zynga has more than enough cash to make these acquisitions. And the company is expanding through a number of high-profile partnerships, including deals with Google, Facebook and Yahoo. （source：techcrunch/techweb）
