Zynga is Bigger than EA

It's the end of the world as we know it .... and I don't feel fine

EA is the devil anyway but then so is facebook and Zynga

No, it's scarily true. Think of it, FB has 1/2 a billion users - a captive audience. It's a great and more effective marketing tool than traditional methods. Also, how many people play farmville - and want to do so quickly? No problem, just pay us money to make your game automagically enhanced...

Ur forgetting one thing... it's not 500 000 000 anymore its 499 999 999 because I dont play that crap, and be like the rest who put so much money into pointless games...

LOL! Dude, all games are for all intents and purposes pointless.

1. CoD: You kill someone and they respawn. You can't ever completely kill them - they just come back!

2. People spent ten years playing Starcraft... learning the intricacies, nuances of all strategies and tactics only to...


have Starcraft 2 released and fck up everything they've learn't.

3. People who go to competitions for sports games. They spend hours upon hours of their time getting good enough to become World Champ at FIFA/PES/Madden/NBA only to...

realise that if they had spent that time with friends and real sport they'd have much better balanced lives and be far healthier than they currently are.

Point is... they are having fun and there's really nothing wrong with it and those gamers aren't worth any more or less than you or I (which this article shows to a tee). At the end of the day, both sets of people are staring at a screen/TV which has on it a virtual representation of something that they could possibly do in real life if they had the skill/money/time/balls to do.
