#2If this is an April 1st it is in extremely bad taste.
If it is true, then I gues that OMGPOP will be a great addition to Zyngas "culture".

The tweet appears to be real:

#4Sour grapes; makes you wonder if they intended all along to embrace and extend Connectrode.

#5[Edit]: Oups sorry, this was already linked in the original article.
Apparently the company's backlash against Shay Pierce had begun on Thursday: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=%2Fg%2Fa%2F2012%...

#6Can't help but think this whole controversy must be (at least in part) motivated by that $30-million for "employee retention" mentioned in the article. I suspected as much when I first saw the uproar on Twitter, but didn't know if the Zyna/OMGPOP deal had any such incentive.
Does anyone know how those retention clauses usually work?

from what that article makes it look like, its simply Pierce's word against the company's. both have their share of things to "fight for". Pierce has his game and public image and OMGPOP has PR and it's recent sale to zynga.

#8This is probably the most immature and mean thing I've seen for months. But can't we just ignore it?

#9The subject misquotes the tweet. It did not say "Shay Pierce". It just said it was the one employee who turned down going to Zynga.
However, there was a second tweet that did explicitly mention Pierce. Here's a screenshot showing both: http://i.imgur.com/Dob8n.jpg
The text of the other tweet is "What's so interesting about success is the number of failures who try to ride on your back. Shay Pierce is just one of many...".
These tweets were on March 30, so they are not April fools jokes.
