Although any small game would like to be acquired by Zynga, if you're really good and have great ideas, maybe you should not - because your company might become as big as Zynga in just a couple of years.

This deal looks like win-win, but maybe it's a bigger win for Zynga, as it removes one potentially dangerous competitor from the market.



Maybe they'll have money/lawyers to run the awesome tetris (blockles) OMGPOP had and pulled out because of the Tetris-troll company which thinks it owns some sort of copyright on game mechanics.


This is true of so many companies that get acquired. I always think of Infinity Ward. If they hadn't been snapped up by Activision, they might be bigger than them today.
