Mark Pincus Lays Out Zynga's "Core Values"

In Zynga's just-released IPO filing, CEO Mark Pincus lays out the company's core values.
Here's what he wrote:
- Surprise and delight our players
- Zynga is a meritocracy
- Be a CEO and own outcomes
- Move at Zynga speed
- Put Zynga first, decisions for the greater good
- Always innovate.
Later he mentions that his brother and law, "who has five kids and no free time, religiously plays our game Words with Friends"
He also puts Zynga in the same long-lasting class as Google, Facebook, and Amazon: "My kids decided a few months ago that peek-a-boo was their favorite game. While it's unlikely we can improve upon this classic, I look forward to playing Zynga games with them very soon. When they enter high school, there's no doubt that they'll search on Google, they'll share with their friends on Facebook and they'll probably do a lot of shopping on Amazon. And I'm planning for Zynga to be there when they want to play."
