Laid-Off OMGPOP Workers Got Hired Back Just In Time To Cash-In On The Big Sale
- PakG1 15y agoGiven that recent flap about the guy not joining the party because he didn't like Zynga's ethics, and then the founder coming out and saying that guy was actually a low performer, this is an interesting flip side to the story if it's true. The strangest part is how all of these sides can co-exist and all be true.
- motoford 15y agoI think this buyout is going to be interesting to watch for some time. With stories like this, how can OMGPOP exist at Zynga, a company that demanded employees give back options or be fired -- all because management didn't think they deserved a big payout at the IPO ? Take the money and run OMGPOP.
- joejohnson 15y agoI know, it's almost as if the evil-Zynga meme is just a false narrative perpetuated by jealous indie game devs and HN bandwaggoners repeating the same tired anecdotes over and over. Every time I hear something positive about Zynga (even peripherally), I just ignore it. It's clearly false.
