Urp... I think that was sausage with maple stomach bile... from 3 days ago... Zynga games are pretty nice & kind of a decent time waster if you have a few hours to kill, but I REALLY loath the 'real' money for virtual money, pay to play approach to longevity to social casting in their make-up. I.e., you're not shit if you don't spend oodles of money to play.
Equally so, you're a garbage player if you have to pay a king's ransom to remove all skill from the game in order to play it. Why call it a game at all?
I shouldn't dump on Zynga. They've found a formula that works & people enjoy your work. Hell, I even enjoy some of their stuff. It's just the seeming coerced/forced means of progression that I don't care for.
