PushStartSelect: "Zynga is suing PyramidVille for the use of “Ville” in the name. Well there is a reason why they should lose. The world of casual games on Facebook and mobile phones is a very dirty and cheap world. Publishers are constantly ripping each other off and suing each other when it happens. When your games are so basic, its going to happen right? Well Zynga has made headlines a lot recently because of their acquisition of the Words With Friends maker, along with some employee comments about their business tactics. Now they are suing the Pyramidville makers for using the word “Ville” in their game title."
I do not know where the hell they began to classify these as games. These are nothing more than a series of strung together advertising pages given a collectable mechanism. Most if not all make you rely on trying to get "others" hooked in order to make progress. Nothing more than a pyramid scheme for advertising. I permanently kicked this habit long ago when I saw how they were changing their games to require you to visit them every day. Free your mind people...dump these asshats.
seriously! i bet 90% of casual facebook gamers dont know who the hell is zynga.
The government should seize all of zynga's assets as proceeds of crime for even attempting such a frivolous suit, it is a waste of court time and its long overdue an example is set so companies know not to keep trying crap like this.
1 It somehow slips by and they get it.
2 They attempt it, fail, and that still secures their name rights since that means no one else after them can do it. "We applied for it a long time ago and you said no!"
