You don't seem to make any sense. Have a good day.

When was Apple ever a leader? They repackage pre-existing technology is glossy white plastic and give it an incredibly easy to use interface.

Cool Spot will kick your ass,

Vectorman is ready to fight,

I am usually pretty critical of shady business practices, but this doesn't seem that bad to me. Yeah, they removed the game to promote sales for their new version. I guess I just don't think that is really bad. At worst it is a ploy to force people to buy the newer, more expensive version. At best, it is a way to

You're right that if Zynga changed entirely, stopped ripping off other people's work and ideas, and made billions of dollars in doing so, it would set a new precedent. However, I don't think that is very likely. It is more likely that the industry will learn from Zynga's failure, rather than Zynga's reinvention. Zynga

Right, I'm sure cloning and stealing other people's ideas and designs was never a problem for them. Glad to hear they are content to rip off other people's work but their biggest problem is internet critics.

The failure of Zynga is important because the success of Zynga set a precedent of cloning and theft as a formula for success. Zynga needs to die a horrible and public death so as to deter this kind of business and design practice.

Sorry, a tough economy isn't a good enough excuse to work at a shitty company. There are always dozens of game studios hiring. Anyone who chooses to work at Zynga has made a poor career choice. Not only is Zynga one of the worst studios in the entire industry, it is hemorrhaging resources and talent. If it wasn't

Hopefully more employees will quit and abandon this house of lies, theft and shame.

Jesus of all things he is on Robot Chicken? That is awesome.

Yeah, poor Carrie, she was so hot 30 years ago :(

Interesting, I never heard this before. It makes sense though, most of the cast seem to want to distance themselves from the franchise.

I heard in the past that a lot of game studios never even tried to hire or ask Mark Hamill to voice Luke Skywalker. Maybe they assumed he was too expensive? I find it odd that he would not continue voicing his most iconic role. Maybe he got sick of it like Harrison Ford clearly has?

Interesting. Good will is a valuable commodity that can be quickly squandered and eroded. Lets see how this plays out.

Paying for a child's education? Fancy Zynga developers sending their kids to private schools?

To be fair, and I have expressed this here on Kotaku in the past, everyone in the game industry should have seen Zynga coming. It is not a surprise that this company is collapsing because it is built on sand and bullshit. So yeah, I don't really have sympathy for people who chose to work at one of the worst studios in

Yeah, but one of the worst game companies in the industry dying is a benefit for everyone who plays games. This is as inevitable as it is necessary. I'm sure the people who lost their jobs aren't happy about it, but it means they can find work at better companies that won't inevitably die in the near future.

Good luck to all the people being freed today. I know this might not seem like good news, but it is. You don't have to work at a shitty company that doesn't value you anymore. You don't have to clone other people's work, or rip off other people's designs. The death of Zynga is inevitable because they are a shitty

Hopefully they can make a good movie, unlike IM2 which was just an endless parade of celebrity cameos.
