I guess you could argue that Zynga employees have been dancing with the devil for the past couple of years. Any Zynga employee I ever talked to was very open about how they aren't really making games. They are just cynically generating revenue over flaws in the human condition. I think if you work for a screwy company like Zynga you should be very paranoid about cashing out of the company. If they have such a low opinion of their customers, who is to say they won't have the same sentiment towards their employees.

Anyone remember this from almost a year ago? http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-57322150-17/zynga-to-employees-give-back-our-stock-or-youll-be-fired/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-57322150-17/zynga-to-emplo... I get the distinct impression Zynga only has a high opinion of money.

  Oh yes, I remember. How did that ever pan out? Were employees forced to renounce their prior options grants, or did the pressure change management's mind on this? Otherwise, yes, Zynga's present situation's been a long time coming, pity it's the bastards who made off like bandits.
