it's a huge insecurity thing. That's all they know. That's all they have. They have no idea how to start on a new innovative game. They've never done it, and they don't have the people in place to take the initiative. They have no framework to launch a legitimate title. All the top people they hired were hired to clone games. They're not going to give up their jobs to some kid with an awesome idea. They then realize that ANY fool can come in and topple them. What they do is easy to replicate.
Is it that surprising to see someone plagiarize tons of games, and then later try to claim ownership of those ideas? That's just a straight-up criminal in disguise as a game developer. If they weren't making games, they would be robbing people on the street. That's just who those people are.
Of course it's all bolstered by investors who have never played a single game in their life and believe that these are good investments and will write tons and tons of articles about it. They're not. Any real gamer would have told you Zynga wasn't a good investment at IPO.
