Not going to congratulate EA, but I'll join the general consensus here.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Yah, they're like EA but worse in the field of 'social' games. EA at least doesn't find every game with any player base and then /directly/ clone every aspect of it.

I hope they both exhaust each others to death.
Fuckhat EA, Fuckhat Rockstar and Fuckhat Activision all bought up the best game devs, entirely ruining them, kill it with fucking fire.
But Zynga first, OBEY ME! DESTROY ZYNGA!

I think you might want to check your facts there.

Huh, I remember someone saying once that EA owned Ubisoft.

I never thought I'd see the day that I'd think "Yes, EA will finally have justice!".

Surreal.

Hopefully they kill each other. But seriously, EA will just aquire them and get one step closer to a monopoly. While absorbing their particular brand of jerkishness.

"Furthermore, EA's lawyers have argued that their "worst company in America" title should be transferred to Zynga as part of the settlement"

Jeez! EA, Activision, and other such companies aren't good people, but damn, the infinite hate directed towards them is staggering. It's like they engage is ethnic cleansing and the drowning of kittens.

In terms of what they've done to the gaming space, I think both those atrocities are comparable. :p

It is hard to say who I care about

Zynga is a evil company that is for sure, what with all their stealing, but EA is also evil what with their blanderdising the game industry and digesting good companies.

It is pretty much the battle between a Evil Bland Game making Thief, Versus EA a bland game making monster.

It's not really relevant how good or bad EA are compared to Zynga - on this case, they've got extremely damning evidence that Zynga is in the wrong.
