For me it pisses me off. Zynga games aren't actually games. I think I would compare this to MW2 success compared to SC2. I mean MW2 is average compared to how much content/work were put to SC2

Should I have heard of this Zynga? I checked the link and the logo doesn't ring a bell either...
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Farmville folks. Congrats to them for finding a new model for getting people into games. Doubt they took any sales from EA, just opened a market of their own.

This doesn't bother me at all. They found their market and set up a great formula for mass appeal games. They deserve the money they make off of it.

I'm happy. EAs games suck so bad, they just release game after game without putting any effort into any of them. Cant remember the last good game they made.

EA and Activision (not blizzard) should just close. They want to make money more than they want to make a good game. Go Zynga i guess

Elitist much?

I mean seriously, they're games just as much as any other and by how large they are I'd say they're enjoyed by more people than SC2 is

Its not like EA and Zynga are really competitors. They have different markets, easily accesible time killer games for the masses vs traditional games.

I personally find them stupid and waste, but hey many people think Starcraft is stupid and a waste. Diffrent people, different tastes.

Not everyone wants to spend hours upon hours grinding build orders and trying to play at 150+ APM. Some people just want to drift off into a virtual world 10 minutes at a time and have some cheap fun.

It also probably means less quality games in future as developers will try to go for these types of games

Not to mention social functions such as facebook implementations in our games will be more common...

I'm fine with it. While i hate Zynga's game at lest they appeal to the masses which is a good business model. EA has been making trash for years, and i'm glad to see their famous style of making as many games as possible without any support not work out for them.

EA is so desperate they bought Angry Birds the iphone game ..

Just give it up already you guys have no creativity.

Theres going to be two types of companies.... EA and Blizzard. EA masses shitty games while Blizzard makes high quality games.

Wow I don't know what people's problems are with more social integration in games and games catered to more casual audiences.

mc donalds is enjoyed by more people then "insert actually good food". doesnt mean its good or makes people trashing mcdonals elitist.




@topic whatever. the gaming industry is going downhill anyways. was jsut a matter of time till crap for the idiots grows bigger then good games.

it heavily influences future games and trends in the industry. look at shitty bnet2.0. imagine what it could be if the guys responsible wouldnt try to mimic Xboxlive.

or look at todays shooters. crappy COD clones evrywhere.


games had to be unique ,cool and fun. now its about who copys best and can suck most idiots in their crappy models to milk em for as long as possible.


when good games become a niche market its a bad thing for evryone who wants quality.

Noone is forcing you to use facebook implementation. It's a nice feature from those who actually have a circle of gaming friends on facebook.

If developers want to go where the money goes, sad, but can't fault them for that. Gotta make a living somehow.

Bad games were being made before their creation and will continue to be made long after they die. And I doubt every game developer is going to be jumping ship to create browser based games, unless it becomes possible to play games like SC2 through a browser.

And so what? I don't use facebook or any of that crap at all, but I don't care if games have features that integrate with it. As long as it's all optional just get over it.
