Google Invests Over $100 Million Into Zynga

I'm just waiting for the rivers of blood and swarms of locusts now. I guess we will know it is the apocalypse when Activision announce [anything here]Ville Hero.
Hopefully someone will kill all employees of Scamga and erase the data for all of their scams, then we can all go back to hating Activision and waiting for Half Life Episode 3 in peace.

Morally dubious? How so? I've never paid any attention to Zynga or Farmville so I wouldn't have any idea.poiumty said:
One hundred million dollars? Isn't that like the money Google makes a day?
Which is exactly why they're giving money to Zynga. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it's really only us lot that don't like Zynga. I'm not saying we're wrong, but everyone else loves them. So in this sense, Google's credibility is shooting upward.poiumty said:
What does this teach you, children?
Yes; lying, cheating and stealing are the ways to get on in life. Listening to your customers, providing technical support and anything other than mindless spamming is a waste of time.
Let's all remember that as we burrow happily through the fossil fuels and let them fill up the oceans.
Remember: If it takes time, it takes money.

You know, there is absolutely no reason to view this as a bad deal for Google. Zynga make ridiculously embarrassing amounts of money. Secondly, Zynga's games appeal to the "I have a smartphone because it's cool" demographic. Google wants that money.The DSM said:
Ergo, stroke of brilliance.
Wow. And here I was thinking Zynga is capable of scamming only the average john and jane doe. A corporation is now on their victim list too. Coming up in the world!
EXACTLY. This has really surprised me. I mean, I HATE zynga and they're dubious almost "scamming" way of earning money. How could you do this Google? T_Tpoiumty said:
All things considered, this is a good move for both Zynga and Google. I had no idea that Google was getting into the games market, but Farmville and Mafia Wars will give it a good head start. With such a powerful user base to operate off of Google and Zynga can benefit from such a relationship greatly. Thanks for the great article ^~^!
All the more reason I have given up on facebook apart from keeping in touch with my family, thanks to Zynga and their bunch of mediocre games, now that Google have their roots inside the company, expect 10 times the advertising of pointless crap, and a future take over of a worthless company (because everyone will be moving onto the next big thing), like when Google bought Youtube.
