Another thing Zynga is great at (and a business practice others follow) is the outright copying of other product's game mechanics and concepts. Hopeful coat tail riding doesn't always pay out. coughMinoMonsterGalaxycough
- teej 15y agoWas FarmVille a direct ripoff of FarmTown? Absolutely. Was CityVille a direct ripoff of the city games before it? Not even close. The personal attack is hilarious. Mike Sego is a good friend and to think that I would outright copy his game is deplorable. When our product releases in the next few weeks, you'll see how different MinoMonsters is.
- esrauch 15y agoI'm confused by this comment, Zynga is moral because it only copies games made by people who aren't personal friends?
- noahth 15y agoYeah, really offensive how someone ripped off Monster Galaxy's completely original concept, which sprung fully-formed from the untainted mind of Mike Sego. (note: not ripping on Mike, he seems like a really nice, cool guy who's worked hard to build a successful business.) When will this "rip-off" meme finally die? It's entirely absurd and usually reeks of sour grapes.
