Retro Uprising - View Single Post - [Zynga Fail] Oh man, you guys HAVE to read this.

Zynga is a game developer, mostly responsable for every other game you see on Facebook and other browsers. Farmville, Mafia Wars, Fishville, Zynga Poker are a few of their more popular titles.

In a nutshell, a smaller company named NimbleBit made a hugely popular game called Tiny Tower that Zynga basically cloned and then called Dream Heights.

Zynga is notorious for coping games, notable Mafia Wars from Mob Wars, Zynga Bingo from Bingo Blitz. Farmville from Farmtown, and Cafe World from Restaraunt City.

I don't know about the others, but I do know there was a lawsuit concerning Mafia Wars/Mob Wars, Zynga settled out of court.

This leaked memo doesn't shed anymore light on what everyone knew, that the owner of Zynga, Mark Pincus is basically a stealing SOB looking to take the work of others and make money on it.
