PICTURE US NAKED

PICTURE US NAKED SMOKING CIGARS AND QUOFFING. Just quoffing in general. 

What is the reason for such unspecified quoffing and cigars you may ask? Well it's the fall of Zynga, Cheryl.

This is an announcement about us "telling you so" and laughing at all those game designer people, who like schoolboys playing schoolboy football at school neglecting long term tactics or planning and just chasing the ball which is a metaphor for what's shiny, new and profitable for one company but not the fourteen thousand smaller ones that set themselves up to just copy someone else's success.

This is now us actually telling you so and laughing at all those game designer people, who like schoolboys playing schoolboy football at school neglecting long term tactics or planning and just chasing the ball which is a metaphor for what's shiny, new and profitable for one company but not the fourteen thousand smaller ones that set themselves up to just copy someone else's success. Okay so we didn't tell Zynga so and we probably didn't even write a post about it but we distinctly remember being slightly worried after one of those wanky navel gazing conferences (GDC? E3? Something like that) where all the wormtongue pseudoacademics and green starry eyed gaming entrepeneurs jumped on the social networking gaming bandwagon insidiously declaring console gaming, PC gaming and probably some other forms of gaming as dead. Long live Cow Clickers and the like!

Well in your face. Here's to all those morons who tried to get on this bandwagon and probably failed. Here's to their total lack of business plan (a napkin with Clone a popular gemm + soshiul network = mega profits isn't a business plan). Here's to all those awful clones and other stupid non games destined to never be played down on page 2415 of the virtual game store. Look likes the bubble burst and you're left standing then with nothing but your balls in your hand(s) and the design docs for "hot" new IP FTP Mad Avians or whatnot clenched betwixt butt cheeks. Here's to all the promising young game designers who took a risk to join your silly little companies and are now probably going to be without a job. Well done everyone. Well done.

THE BIT WHERE WE PREDICT THE NEXT TREND IN GAMING TO COLLAPSE SOON AFTER IT IS ANNOUNCED AS "THE FUTURE":

-  All those mobile gaming companies

- All those minecraft clones

- Sci-fi shootan games

- Kickstarter games

More cigars Cheryl! More cigars!
