#12Farmville was a great social game and their Words with Friends acquisition was very good... then they started making Farmville clones, blatantly ripping off competitor's games, and paid $200 million for Draw Something.
Farmville was a blatant ripoff of Happy Farm - it just happened to be the first clone to hit the U.S. market from China and be successful.

#13Zynga is clearly a household brand you can trust.

#14Has this been corroborated outside of that tweet yet?

#15I don't know why everyone is so critical of Zynga trying to hide this news among the Apple stories -- what is the argument for not doing so? "Hey guys, lets make sure EVERYONE hears that we're closing down offices and laying off employees, this is going to be important"
Would you have acted differently?

important to shareholders so they can dump that garbage like the ceo dumped shares of his own (garbage)business...

#17Way to try sweep it under the rug by announcing it during all of Apple's product news. Classy act Zynga.
Because other companies don't announce news on Friday at 4:00pm...
Or because the White House doesn't make important news announcements on Christmas Eve when nobody's paying attention...
I don't think this is a Zynga dick-move. I think this is a typical company move to bury a non-flattering story.

I'm also waiting for this. I feel suspicious even though it wouldn't surprise me much from Zynga.

Lay them off last friday and save your shareholders a man-year of salary?

Farmville was a blatant ripoff of Happy Farm - it just happened to be the first clone to hit the U.S. market from China and be successful.
Which was a ripoff of the classic mid-1990s SimFarm.
