Zynga

Un ex software engineer di Zynga ha postato su Reddit alcune lamentele riguardo il suo ex datore di lavoro. Secondo l’anonimo ingegnere Zynga avrebbe la poco simpatica abitudine di “copiare” i giochi degli altri sviluppatori e inoltre tratterebbe piuttosto male programmatori, sviluppatori e dipendenti.

Quasi tutti i giochi Zynga sarebbero in realtà basati su tecnologie altrui, fa notare il misterioso ex impiegato, solamente Zynga Poker e Mafia Wars 2 sono stati sviluppati internamente, persino il motore alla base di FarmVille (denominato MyMiniLife) apparterrebbe in realtà ad altri.

Si parla anche di un pessimo trattamento riservato a impiegati e sviluppatori, che verrebbero trattati come dipendenti di seconda fascia, venendo addirittura esclusi dagli eventi privati della società e dalle presentazioni dei nuovi titoli.

Ovviamente non sappiamo se quanto dichiarato dall’ex misterioso impiegato corrisponde a verità oppure no, di certo questo non è un bel periodo per Zynga. Dopo un modesto debutto in borsa, le azioni della società hanno perso diversi punti a Wall Street, Zynga inoltre è stata accusata di aver copiato diversi giochi, il caso più eclatante sembra essere quello di Dream Eights per iPhone, palesemente ispirato da Tiny Tower.

Come se non bastasse, da registrare l’insuccesso dei titoli Zynga usciti nel 2011, Empires & Allies, Adventure World e Mafia Wars 2, CastleVille non hanno conquistato il pubblico, ottenendo un piccolo successo assolutamente non paragonabile alla diffusione avuta da FarmVille, CityVille e FrontierVille.

  34. Every expert was once a beginner. Keep pushing forward, and one day, you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come. Progress is always happening, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

  36. Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.

  37. Virtue, they say, lies in the middle, but who among us can truly say where the middle is? Is it a fixed point, or does it shift with time, perception, and context? Perhaps the middle is not a place but a way of moving, a constant balancing act between excess and deficiency. Maybe to be virtuous is not to reach the middle but to dance around it with grace.

  38. If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

  39. Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.

  41. The cosmos is said to be an ordered place, ruled by laws and principles, yet within that order exists chaos, unpredictability, and the unexpected. Perhaps true balance is not about eliminating chaos but embracing it, learning to see the beauty in disorder, the harmony within the unpredictable. Maybe to truly understand the universe, we must stop trying to control it and simply become one with its rhythm.

  42. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.
