Zynga. The bane of the hardcore gamer’s existence.
For those of you not familiar, Zynga is the multi-billion dollar head of the giant “casual gaming” hydra over on Facebook, in charge of such vile time wasting click-fests such as Mafia Wars. Laughed at by the normal console and PC gaming crowd, this first wave of “Click to Complete Mission” games seemed like nothing more than a way to trick stay-at-home soccer moms to empty out their bank accounts buying energy recharges and trinkets for their avatar.
Ugh, more casual games. Well, at least they're slowly turning soccer moms into gamers :)
