Zynga Claims Ownership Over All Things "Ville"

[GundamSentinel]

Oh, just social media games. Thank God, I thought Zynga just claimed ownership of every French city hall...

I'm going to make a game called "World Of Faceville: Edge Of War".

Sue me.

 

[WolfLordAndy]

If I made a game called "iVille" would I get sued by Zynga AND Apple?

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Oh Zynga..after the whole Tim Langdell issue you have nothing.

 

[Mariner]

Facebook games still suck though

 

[Sixties Spidey]

They can fuck off right to "Fuck-Off-Ville" as far as I'm concerned. Zynga had better'd not be allowed to enter March Mayhem this year.

 

[Marmooset]

In a sad bit of irony The Metropolitan Opera - in order to avoid running afoul of Zynga - has renamed their upcoming summer production "The Barber of Seton", only now they've been hit with A Cesare and desist from Seton Hall University.

if they keep it to, "social media game" only then fine.

But if I want to make a single player Ville game they can go fly a kite in a lightning storm.

They have absolutely no legal basis for this, it's a joke, it's a common suffix for Christ's sake!
