Zynga loses chief designer

Beh, theyll just steal another one.....

They are a complete rubbish company that shoves out crap and doesnt fix them they like an EA for the phone app market nothing ever works from them and if it does it usually has network issues and you cant continue. I hope they shut down soon completely

Good, I hope Zynga dies in a fire... the way they treat their employees is as bad as they shameless way they rip off other games so blatantly.

Maybe he'll return to Firaxis and we'll finally get another Alpha Centauri game!

What does a "chief designer" even do at Zynga? They certainly don't design new games.

"Chief of Rip-Offs" might not be as good a job title though I guess.

I believe that EA will destroy them. Literally.

Sounds like Zynga is pretty despicable...never as bad as EA, but...

They need to just go away forever at this point.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.. just kidding. hope he finds a job right away

Zynga is a total rip off. I'll never touch one of their games.

Designer!? Is that the new term for one who plagiarizes?

Do you hear that Zynga?.........

................

That is the sound of Innevitability....................

Your lucrative bubble is about to burst!

I remember when Zynga was on top of the world and thinking how stupid that was. When will people learn that social gamers are incredibly fickle? Have a division cater to them. Don't make a whole company that does that. Can't say I'd be surprised if the whole company collapsed, but that's what you get for devoting yourself to easily made games for an audience that will inevitably lose interest.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts...

So is this a roundabout way of saying someone from another studio left?

Since when is copy-paste game design? even i could do that,
All they do is slap a new name on it, add a spam youre friends and a microtransaction system on it.

That's okay, Zynga has so much talent, they'll always overcome.

Serves them right and I do like anonymous's efforts to give them a little reailty check.

So that's where Brian Reynolds been hiding for the last couple of years. Brilliant game designer. Civ II, Alpha Centauri and Rise of Nations are all fantastic games that he was involved in. Hopefully he's now free to go back to designing real games. Maybe there's a spot open at Firaxis, would be awesome.

The sooner Zynga ends up in the dust bin of history the better off the industry is.

Crtl+C, Crtl+V.

Chief designer.

Game Designer? Don't flatter yourself. Rip-off Artist is more like it.

Chief Designer? Do these people really need any creative power? All they do is copy the games of other developers anyway

Has there ever been such a meteoric rise followed by such a quick fall from grace? I hope this is a lesson to investors looking for that next videogame trend. These casual games are largely short term fads with no long term prospects. Angry Birds might be the only exception I can think of and even its popularity is probably going to wane.

Zynga has been losing so much since last year, I guess that's what happens when you are evil.
