zynga makes words with friends right? that sort of stuff is good quality games production, not farmville.

if they concentrated on that sort of stuff, instead of games that are pretty much slot machines, then i think they would be better off.

Dying? No. Adjusting to better represent the value of the company? Absolutely. Zynga's IPO was ridiculous and there's no way the company is worth as much as they claimed they were, but their profits have been rising for three straight years and there's no indication at this time that they are going to go in any other direction but up. Zynga is extremely, extremely good at what they do, and even with all the (sometimes justified) hate there are still tens of millions of people out there who play their games on a daily basis.


Exactly this. Their stock's "all-time low" is 20% off their all-time high. They aren't even close to dying, and the original post in this thread is complete made-up nonsense. Half the people replying don't look like they read past the title either.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

They are an evil company that exploits people:namely poor folks with ocd and facebook addicts who don't know any better

Played mafiawars and Restaurant City. Those games are so manipulative, you wouldn't believe, only way to progress is to get your friends to play. I don't think Zynga is dying, but if it is, I'm fucking stoked. Burn, burn, buuuurn!
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

Just a little mroe information on the subject. EA suing Zynga for plagiarism.

This article linked here also presents screenshots of a lot of Zynga games and their respective cloned original.

I feel like "I told you so." just doesn't say it enough. Zynga's shares have been overpriced for quite some time, and like pretty much everything associated to Social Networking sites, their product was just a pile of shit.

Implementing and evolving features is healthy for the videogame industry. Blatant ripoff, however, is not.

Down with Zynga.

Web 2.0 = overpriced crap investment banks were able to shove down the throats of dumb investors. Anyway, the real losers will be the city of SF.

Yup, Zynga games were dire, just repetitive, boring tasks that tried so pathetically hard to stop you from quitting.

Unless you mean "Are stupid facebook app games going to die out", in which case, All signs point to yes.

Social games will be fine, but stupid fucking gimmick games like farmville are crap and can't hold their own for more than a few years.

It's funny because Vivendi want to go into these social media games as a way to make money...I wonder if this has changed their minds
