Huge mistake on Rovio's part. This Angry Bird gravy train won't last forever and they don't seem to be doing anything productive with all the cash their taking in. Zynga on the other hand is constantly producing new stuff. Oh well...

Zynga is the newest in the longest list of old blood, just like the leeches of the record labels & casting directors, they're out to sign in desperate programmers to make a name for themselves. Folks willing to whore themselves out to make a name. Once the contract is up Zynga will have either gotten their only golden egg out of them & lost nothing or lost them off to another company to the tune of a lesser sophomore golden egg. Only in very rare occasions do mega-stars rise as a phoenix.

I'm just tired of the nickel & whoring that Zynga seems to think I'm going to pay to play their games.
