So a leaked internal letter hit the blogs today addressing some issues that they were copying other peoples game ideas. There are some curse words so I'll NSFW it.

( Click to show/hide )

"After taking heat over allegations of copying hit indie game Tiny Tower, Zynga founder Mark Pincus wrote an internal memo justifying the company's strategy of cloning competing titles, citing the Google search engine and Apple iPod as successful products which weren't first in their markets. Pincus infamously told employees: 'I don't want f*cking innovation. You're not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers.'"
