So Zynga you say, yes..
Well at least they won't look at your latest gaffe's and decide to turn you down. That says something about Zynga doesn't it.
So in a few months we hear of you again when you come talking about the latest zynga aquisitions. When Zynga has bought the biggest Facebook Bingo Sweepstakes Application. Well see you till then!

Yeah, that video pretty much sums up my opinion on this.
Seriously, I can't help but wonder why he is leaving. Something tells me that it's not 100% voluntary. He's been a lightning rod of outrage since the Xbox One reveal. I suspect that they want someone who won't be automatically hated by gamers the minute he appears to replace him. Hopefully, they'll get someone good.
Now, if only they'll replace the Xbox One with a good console...

So I guess Zynga's portfolio now includes Skinner Box micropayment treadmills, stealing game ideas from other companies, and epic self-satire.
Zinga and Mattrick deserve each other. And I had the feeling he would leave Microsoft, because he was the public face (and perhaps the driving force in the company) for the Xbone DRM and "average Joe focus" bullshit. When they were force to do the 180, he lost face and probably was being encouraged to find another job.
Ok. Has anyone checked the Microsoft offices water supply for lead contamination, because all of this madness has to have a reason. It's just...
Uhhhhh my brain is actually hurting trying to understand the insanity surrounding the last few months of this dudes career.

It seems that way. It's like he wanted to find the sleaziest and stupidest of "game" companies to join, and he has succeeded. The only other place could of gone was EA, but that wouldn't have been as bad, because what makes EA higher on list compared to Zynga is that EA actually publishes and sometimes makes actual games.Daystar Clarion said:

Zynga's "games" are pretty much the anti-games.
This is Don Mattrick a few weeks from now.
With that said, I'm really surprised that he is leaving Microfost.
I think he was actually fired just like Adam Orth for not keeping his mouth shut, but to avoid more PR problems nowadays it's called "leaving".
Well yes, but why would Don Mattick want to take the helm of Zynga? Wouldn't that be like wanting to take the helm of the Hindenburg? ...after it crashed?gigastar said:
