You need to take your head out of your rear end and face reality. Jim Mon, 13 Sep 2010 09:38:20 -0400 Some one heard about the new social media project "google ME" they told that they will create something special and they will work with all of those games companies like "Zynga" then they start to earn a real money. <a href="">קידום אתרים</a> Topsy Ecrets Mon, 13 Sep 2010 06:33:05 -0400 It`s not about making the money it`s about the way that money is made Blizzard,they didn`t put any effort,it wasn`t honest work,I`d really appreciate it if they would have made the cash from real work improving gaming experience and stuff but they earned cash by scams and you can`t disagree with me on this one just read otrher articles about them and you`ll see,and let`s not forget the Mark Pincus video,sure every company is interested in making profit but some companies actually work for them,sure they see us as cows and try to get as much milk from us as they can but some companies offer "alpine grass" while Zynga offers crap and takes the milk.Some companies shake the client`s hand and say hello,Zynga just says here`s some more crap from us,enjoy and pls take the scam offer.And well you might not see their distructive behaviour but you will see it eventually Nikki Mon, 13 Sep 2010 04:42:21 -0400 Thanks guys for sharing this post with us. Moby Mon, 13 Sep 2010 04:41:30 -0400 Zynga is doing what any company in its position would do and that is to milk it as much as it can. Zynga games are the new WoW sfd Sun, 12 Sep 2010 22:54:46 -0400 XingWoo = Lou. we are watching you and your spamming ways! DC Blizzard Sun, 12 Sep 2010 19:51:25 -0400 You just summed up every religion humans have ever invented. Except in religion, millions have died in the name of imaginary friends. DC Blizzard Sun, 12 Sep 2010 19:50:00 -0400 Apparently not enough! DC Blizzard Sun, 12 Sep 2010 19:49:38 -0400 Heh-heh. Now now, I never commented on the depth, creativity, or engagement of their games did I? I consider Zynga to be the reality show hype of the video game world. They pump out cookie cutter mindless games just like Jersey Shore, Brett Michaels Rock of Love, and other reality shows, but they know what works and what will get eyeballs and they have propelled an entirely new genre of gaming into mainstream America. People who have never played games before in their lives are playing Zynga games. If you've played any Zynga game or watched any of these shows, you are victim to the numbing of civilization, which is an entirely different subject than the "ethical" questions of their monetization strategies. They are in it to make money. Period, full stop, end of the line. Just like Michael Bay. Phil Sun, 12 Sep 2010 19:43:05 -0400 Awesome business, making money on buying a piece of imagination. Topsy Ecrets Sun, 12 Sep 2010 15:53:33 -0400 Lol yeah Blizzard is pretty much a tool,sure good for them to do their best to get money but the least they could do is care about the client,the games are actually bad but they could try to make them better,they rather be distructive rather than creative also why keep the purchase bit secret? If you don`t fear anything you don`t hide stuff like that,and what`s the bit with I agree to pay zynga for extra points in case they accidentally make a mistake?Do they do mistakes often?They can`t do a simple task as giving a guy exactly the amount for which he paid or the "accidentally" add an extra 0 in there to get more cash?It`s more proof that Zynga doesn`t give a dagn about their customers,heck everybody cares about his customers since they are the source of income,they wanna have big income without caring about them,that is just not right. Heck they also take down competition by buying them,but buying them the clients of their competition become theirs,and do they care?Let`s see what they did with Challange Games,sure Planetstorm was like Warstorm with less players and I don`t believe it had big spenders but let`s see what happend with the rest,Warstorm had a lot of players specially since it was very popular on facebook,that game had spenders but what did they do?The game required updates every now and then,new packs and stuff so of course giving a dagn about the customers and making an update once 2-3 months was way 2 much for them,work instead of releasing another crappy game that doesn`t require updates,just sitting back and waiting for money just isn`t their stile so they took Warstorm down and left just the facebook version that actually doesn`t require updates or anything nor will it ever get an update. Next up duels,again game that requires updates every now and then,they didn`t close it but aren`t showing any intentions even if the players asked many times if they are gonna do something truth is it looks like they wanna close it but since there are players with lifetime memberships they rather make players quit then close it,maybe this is the only thing they are actually working on,making players quit.Even if releasing warstorm again,making updates to both duels and warstorm would bring in big money they rather spend 5 minutes 2 make a new stupid game release it then bring in the money bt.This is outrageous!They ruin gaming experience and want money for it! You can just give Zynga credit for bringing a whole new level of human degradation!And DC Blizzard thank you for not thinking and loving that degradation now go take that shower maybe the water hitting your head will accidentally cause your lonely neuron to generate an electrical impulse and you will finally awake. Turntables Sun, 12 Sep 2010 14:04:52 -0400 You are a massive tool. How much did Zynga pay you to stand up for them? DC Blizzard Sun, 12 Sep 2010 11:23:05 -0400 Oh wait, I see it was Ryan Tate at Gawker that wrote the article. Ryan, you should stick to watching porn with your wife and stop trashing companies. Now I feel dirty for even reading one of his articles...I am the sucker now. Gonna go take a long shower. DC Blizzard Sun, 12 Sep 2010 11:20:04 -0400 I don't understand why everyone is constantly criticizing Zynga? Offerpal is a legitimate business that they integrated. Accepting PayPal or wire transfers for their virtual credits is a legitimate business model. Accepting wire transfers for $500 minimum purchase prices and no refunds is also a legitimate business model. Their games have a repetitive addictive element to them but they are legitimate business models and products. If people want to shell out money for virtual goods, whether they give their credit cards for offerpal offers, or pay via PayPal, or even wire transfer money to Zynga, there is absolutely nothing wrong or predatory about that. The unemployed disabled guy spending 16 hours a day on the game? That's his choice, why are they blaming Zynga? Zynga is not actively out there running marketing campaigns targeting disabled people, so to correlate a predatory business practice to them is ridiculous. I am tired of all these people that want to babysit consumers. As for the ex-employees who are disgruntled and trashing the company, too bad. There is always someone else next in line ready to fill your role. Just look at the Tobacco and Beer companies. Who do you think works there? Whenever I read articles such as this (and I think this one is pretty positive compared to most), all I can see is some jealous writer who is trashing Zynga because they have become the rock star of the day. Some day Zynga will go down and someone else will emerge...but that is the cycle of business. I don't blame Zynga for milking every penny they can out of it while they are in the spotlight. anon Sun, 12 Sep 2010 11:11:49 -0400 Internet crack.
