I wonder if Google's attempt to buy its way into gaming is going to be as much of an uphill battle as Microsoft's. Seems that they're getting other people to do the hardware heavy lifting, so that mitigates a lot of risk right there.
This deal doesn't mention anything about exclusivity, so I expect that this deal is about assuring Zynga games on Android and Chrome platforms, and they'll continue to be available on Flash and iOS.
