A virtual Facebook taco, at that.

#4We should all short Zynga. Zynga has nothing special, no competitive advantage, no intellectual capital, no special sauce to maintain their market share.. and what OTHER social platforms are there for games? Twitter? Google+?
"Oh, our plan is to launch poker in the UK!" Um.. ok, and compete with 10000 other companies that had a decade head start and know all about the online poker business. Good luck with that.

#5good fuck you zynga. My first taste of their shitty ways, was just the other week. lidgren - is the best open networking library available for indie gamers and this fuck, goes and duplicates the code base, re-releasing it on a separate source control site. THEN he mails the group, including the author, asking for permission.
After hearing about this, the author understandably is concerned about splitting the dev hub of his code across multiple sites, and its community, culminating in him saying this is not a good idea.
The stupid fuck, replies saying he already has done it, and matter of factly states it is getting quite popular.
Community hits back, tells him it is detrimental to everyone, and asks him to take it down. Eventually after a few days of building pressure, he does.
I was curious, did a little research. Turns out the dickhead was an important dev from Zynga.
I have omitted names.
Fuck Zynga.

Its understandable that you don't like zynga but this post isn't constructive. In general terms rant != cool.

Also, as far as I can tell the license is MIT so he can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants with it. Open source goes both ways.

#8Sure, ZNGA went down 6% yesterday, to about the same price it was on Wednesday, which is still 15% more than it was a couple weeks earlier.
Not sure about Zynga as a company, but it's easy to overreact to the market's reaction to this news.
Re: Zynga Stock Dives as Facebook Keeps Backing Away
#9It's worth noting that Zynga has diversified revenue streams other than the games themselves: they have a pending Draw Something TV show [1] and physical merchandise [2].
That probably won't be enough to save the company, though. It wouldn't surprise me if Zynga pivots into a Rovio.
