That is the absolute opposite direction they should go. DoA5 should be putting Bayman in a thong, and giving jiggle-physics to his plumcatcher.

Not only does Zynga have Richard Garriott's endorsement, they also appear to have his litigious luck.

This announcement has nothing to do with the stock delisting warning notice they received. This totally isn't a bid for attention so their stock can hopefully stabilize.

If they REALLY want to make money, what they need to make is a Hot Pocket holder attached to a World of Warcraft branded keyboard.

I can arbitrarily say I'd probably buy more stuff off XBL without the convoluted 'points' system. I resist buying things off XBL because the point system just seems like a racket where MS will always have a little extra money out of your pocket, when you have these awkward chunks of points left behind that you can't spend unless you buy MORE points.

But... but... Richard Gariott is never wrong!

I would take an Opiate-Laced Cuddle Cocoon over EA's entire catalogue, and I say that with no genuine mean spirit towards EA.

On a Jedi Sentinel focusing on earning dark side points, I build an 'emotional engagement' in SWTOR by choosing goody-goody conversation options to keep my companions happy, until a choice contributes the points I need. Then we're flushing orphanages out of airlocks.

It's psychotic to pay attention to.

I expect Richard Garriott to show up at the stock exchange wearing a cheerleader shirt with the Zynga logo, proclaiming how Zynga's going to destroy all MMO's, and bring down console gaming. And, that he's looking for investors to support him to develop UO2.
