How Germany’s Wooga took Facebook by storm (interview)

After Zynga, the second-biggest player on Facebook isn't Electronic Arts anymore. It's Wooga, a Berlin-based studio that has become Europe's largest social game publisher with more than 49 million monthly active users on Facebook. Now Wooga has raised $24 million in venture capital and has grown to more than 150 employees. The company now faces a number of strategic decisions, such as doubling down on Facebook or spreading out to platforms such as Google+ or Zynga.com. We caught up with co-founder Jens Begemann at the recent Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Here's a transcript of our interview.
