Zynga now valued at $5.51 billion, more than Electronic Arts

I wonder why so many people like playing repetitive games like farmville. Maybe just to kill some time.

well ive never played farmville or frontierville or mafia wars or any of those. and im proud of myself.

EA doing more hard work and zynga getting paid more :O

It clearly means that today everything is getting online based. One needs to go with the trend inorder to remain competitive

This is so stupid, zynga..wtf is zynga...e a makes great games but they gotta step it up somehow, this is ridiculous

This just shows how gaming is not standard geek-fare anymore.

It also shows how casual gaming is increasingly destroying brain cells all over the world.

If I recall correctly, the owner is a Chinese entrepreneur. He seemed to have his eggs in all the right baskets.

no wonder. zynga games are FREE and are easily accessible through facebook. these sometimes gets so annoying with all the requests and wall posts. but the games are boring and mind numbing. sucks for EA though, they were not able to exploit the users as good as zynga, having bought playfish and all

You're not the only one.. I can't believe that a game so simple and absolutely meaningless (cmon, it's not even fun) can beat a giant, such as EA.. I am truly amazed.. In a negative way, that is..

"Why was you late for work today?" .. Sorry, i was planting potatos.

I can feel this... I actually play Restaurant City on Facebook and I still wonder why... stlil check it once daily to get all the ingredients I can daily get, been logging in for over 180 days in a row even though I dont do much more clicks than 3-4 minutes daily.

Now I really want to quit it! hahaha

That's ridiculous, even though EA has been getting worse lately they make MUCH better quality games than a stupid little game on Facebook. How stupid are people these days?

This is the power of simplicity and 500 million people. Nice.

They're ALIENS i tell you ,ALIENS,they're planing an invasion.Farmville is a brain washing game,is all part of "The Plan" ,run for your lives .Darn it ...to much sugar and coffee again >_>

And now, we have another reason Farmville permanently brain-damages ordinary people.

Now they just need to leverage this popularity to put out games that aren't terrible and/or ripped off. A shame that they'll just do what keeps making money instead.
