Zynga is just doing it wrong.

P.S. We miss you syncaine. Or I do at least. This is one of the few MMO blogs I still read.

If you or I picked up a Zynga game we certainly wouldn’t be having any fun, but we could just as easily get sucked into it if we weren’t careful.

My gripe is that these are often the very first game for someone. It kind of skews perception of what games are for that bunch.

He negated to mention the fact that the game was an abomination, and that most gamers are not the mindless farmville like masses who are happy to eat spoon after spoon of garbage games that look like the stuff I played in 1988.
