The best part is that the word "Zynga" on their resumes will forever be a black stain and hold back their entire careers.

They'd be better off saying they spent X number of years smoking crystal meth in a truck stop.

Heh, yeah, I can see how that interview would go: interviewer: "so tell me a little about your past professional experience" applicant: "well I worked for 3 years in studio x doing level design and a little bit of gameplay programing as well and then I... ummm... spent 2 years smoking crystal meth..." interviewer: "hah, no seriously, what have you done before?" applicant: " *heavy sigh*.. I worked at zynga for 2 years" interviewer: "*stares blankly at applicant*..AHEM...ok let's go back to the crystal meth thing"

Noooooope.

Applicant: "I spent two years at Zynga."

Interviewer: "Oh that's great, stealing intellectual property is pretty good for business because it keeps production costs low and consumers love throwing money at the same mediocre product forever. Welcome aboard, brah."

Is this going to happen every year they can't get an exclusive contract with the NBA? They probably don't want to compete with good games when they can fuck the consumer in the same way they do with Madden.

Lol.

Stat allocation was great in games like Diablo 2 where it actually allowed you to do some neat things (Max block sorc etc.) but modern games have taken so much choice away from the player in an effort to 'streamline' things that it doesn't make sense to have anymore.

I'd buy the goddamn shit out of that shirt if I could work hot pink, fuck this earth, son.

Best article in a while.

They're both kind of mediocre.

Novastorm was a good game.

If it's not with one of their Industry Bros then it's usually unwatchable, even worse if it's a bad game that had the potential to be a fun QL.

Well at least they didn't name it Clueless Dummy Who Can't Press Buttons Mode.
