"The game's popularity peaked almost exactly on the day that the company was bought"
Given the timing did the new association with Zynga hurt them? Seems like consumers, in general, are probably not that in tune with the press but this all went pretty mainstream, and Zynga's rep seems to be taking blows at all levels now . . .
Also appears from the recent reviews that lots of folks are having issues with crashing:

- robryan 15y agoDoubt that would be the primary driver, the average app user just wouldn't be that in time with behind the scenes movement. Nothing was put in app or in the download description to indicate that it was now a Zynga property.
- dfxm12 15y agoShortly after Zynga bought OMGPOP, my profile disappeared. If I wanted to play games, I would have had to create a new profile with no way of knowing if all of my coins/colors/current games would carry over. I didn't care enough to sign up, and this time around I was forced to link it to either my email address or Facebook, which I did not want to do (before I could just create a username without linking it to anything else). This friction is what led to my uninstall and is no doubt a consequence of the sale.
