Farmvillians: SF Weekly's Zynga hatchet piece

“I don’t fucking want innovation. You’re not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers.”—Zynga CEO Mark Pincus, if an anonymous former employee’s quote in this SF Weekly feature article is to be believed. The piece makes Pincus and the entire Zynga organization to be not very happy-funtime. “Zynga’s motto is ‘Do Evil,'” this same ex-employee says. “I would venture to say it is one of the most evil places I’ve run into, from a culture perspective and in its business approach. I’ve tried my best to make sure that friends don’t let friends work at Zynga.”
