I read this article i while back and it seems to me that the
game industry condemns Zynga's money making practices and I
would like to know what you think of the company?
Edit: I thought it also would be interesting to what people
think of what Activision_Blizzard have done that irritates you
and you would like to share.
Don't hate and play nice (if this is going to be an continuing
thread then a little civilized talk is very much welcomed )
Thanks to alanthil for his question.

One word: Annoying.
Zynga is probably one of the most annoying game companies when
we talk about advertisement, real money trades or smth like
that.
I'd already played some Zynga games, they aren't bad games, but
i gave up them since my schedule got more packed and because of
the frustrations.

Zynga is [PROFANITY]in' internet scum anyways. Whoring on
facebook apps making the SAME GAME OVER AND OVER again and then
fricking making millions off of their shitty over-priced virtual
currency. I swear if I get another [PROFANITY]in' farmville
request I?m going to kill somebody.

Well, they have somehow made mundane, boring games addictive,
sapping people out of their time. I'll say there are successful
in that.

They ARE sucessful, this is unquestionable, but the way they
used to get this sucess and the way the use it it's totally
wrong :P.

Well I don't hang around in Facebook a lot but a long time ago
I've played Mafia wars and some poker but these games from Zynga
tend to pay to play if you want activity for more than a few
clicks.
A bit like some broweser games out there in the end you need to
get a premium account or pay for extra time/turns/bonuses etc.
I've have another question, what do you think about
Activison-Blizzard > Diablo III? For me this goes the same way,
I've played D3 since release and after a month I quit, maybe it
gets better with patches but it was destroyed already.
I knew some botters they made some thousand dollars, I should
have done that too if i knew that the game would be so broken
:(

What I think Activision-Blizzard tried to do with Diablo 3 was
with good intentions but poorly executed, having a real money
auction house was a train wreck for them but it taught a
valuable lesson about consumer mentality.....there game was
built so that you either farmed for gold/gear or paid up to
advance... as many would guess that does not go well with people
who spent 60 dollars on an game they already bought and many (in
my opinion) just felt cheated and of course there was that
decision to make people ALWAYS be connected to the server that
to was not an good idea but necessary with an real money auction
house :-\
The idea that the player was always connected to play and also
to add the real-money auction house which was strapped to
well... a single player game was not an good idea but could very
well have worked on an mmo much better, only a fraction used the
auction house but they pushed people to much to try it.
As some would say this was just an perfect storm, its ironic
because there world of warcraft mmo had also achieved this
perfect storm and because of it became the most popular mmo of
its time.....I guess Blizzard is a fine example of all that
rises must eventually fall.
So that's my opinion of Blizzard, but Activision is an whole
another story and to the very well hive mind almost that they
are evil is wrong...its just business.

You can't expect anyone to talk clean on such dirty
buisness.Blizzard is turning greedier and greedier with each
idiot(no offence) that buys their late crap.In the old days
everything was clean , back in the days of diablo 2 , warcraft 3
and shit.
What is worse is their public reasons.That their methods are
required to keep their shit alive.

Zynga are just disgusting.
They recently took over the highly successful Draw Something
game (smartphones), and it has gone from awesome to complete
trash - the ads are ri-bloody-diculous. Any time you want to
view another plays move or start your own move or any
significant action, it takes you to a full screen ad that can't
be skipped for about 5 seconds. It was never like this before
the idiots came along.
Hate them
Hate
