You just gotta love California - one of the few states where you don't have to be personally harmed to file a class action law suit on any business that's perceived to have harmed consumers or the population at large. It would be nice if the money were actually returned to the harmed consumer ...

Hey now, Texas is also a hot bed for crazy law suit action. It is patent troll heaven. They are really friendly to class actions too.

Yep, business of the future, where you can be sued in so many countless ways anywhere in the world for making a cute farming simulator. The internet presents so many ways to be guilty by association, lawyers must be out sharpening their teeth.

or maybe those like me who have been trying to reach Zynga for 2 months with over 30 emails and 0 responses from them, sould be able to sign up to be reimbursed for our "scammed loses". You can raise $500 million, they are still criminals and facebook should take all their games down for such actions. it's not like the cloned Zynga games don't have exact replicas usually the original that zynga copied in the first place. Mobsters or farmtown are perfect ways to play safely. We don't need companies like Ynga getting support, they are one of the worst examples of how to run a company for the long term. Zynga is a VC not a gaming company. everyone wants to be profitable, Zynga is greedy enough to do it without customer regard from my experience or lack of response from them.

Ryan- Playdom, who makes Mobsters, uses CPA advertising just like Zynga... I wouldn't be suprised if they even have the same vendor.

This is what happens when investors who only want a x7 to x10 ROI within 5 or 10 years get involved. They don't give a damn about advancing games as a cultural medium. They treat what you are doing as an internet or tech venture that they can flip in a few years when the vaunted IPO happens. There isn't any long-term view of success.
