Good luck to him.

I wonder if his new office is DOOOOOWN TOOOOOWNN! ....That's a thing right?... I haven't played Jam since I was like 10 so I might have made that up...

Does anyone get the feeling that Zynga is probably overpaying to get guys to move because they've got huge cash flow? Don't get me wrong, we know Zynga is a beast in the online space for better or worse, but this strikes me as people getting offers to good to ignore rather than moving because its a logical change

I could go for a visually updated, physics-heavy Blitz that isn't Backbreaker.

@adr916 Nope. I love the NBA Street series, especially Vol. 2 and Homecourt.

I'd love to see, say, an XBLA/PSN release of NBA Street Vol. 2 with online. (Ideally with servers that EA can't shut down at their own damn will, but that's doubtful.)

Zynga is an utter cesspool. I can't wait until their 15 minutes of fame are up.

I usually don't pray for a developer's demise, but Zynga is shady as hell. Not only that, but their games are junk that deserve to be eliminated.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rovio and Zynga merged or Zynga acquired Rovio. These two are the same type of money-making, overconfident trash

So he created NBA Jam AND NFL Blitz? This man is the cause of so many hours of fun in my life. Best of luck to him.

Just wait for EA to buy Zynga and all of them will go, "Aw man!"

Just like with that one dood who left EA for PopCap, only for EA to consume them.

@Theneverendingsoda So you still don't get that this is a business? Outside of a vanishingly few creative types over the years that buck the trend the entire industry (see that word?) of making games has always just been business.

That's not to say one can't find creative fulfillment at work ,but dude come on for every madman like Jenonva Chen making The Journey there are 10,000 dudes who show up to work hard and try to make a living at entertaining you.

If Shigeru Miyamoto thinks it's entertainment not art why exactly can't a guy move to a more lucrative job entertaining other people?
