No company being on the other end of a "flip" (i.e. an acquirer) will mistake rapid growth and short term virality for long term health.

- minimaxir 13y agoThere are a number of telling examples though. Zynga and OMGPOP, for one.
- aepstein32 13y agoGaming is a tricky example, with gaming being a hit driven business: hits only last in the short term. I don't believe Zynga was mislead by a viral product in Draw Something. They saw a fascinatingly simple game built by a great team, and I hope that's what they intended on purchasing, instead of yesterday's hit.
