Kixeye, whilst having its own PR issues, has proven that FB gaming can be quite profitable and lucrative.
Luckily they don't have quite the bad reputation Zynga has for its practices - even though the CEO is a douchebag.
All of this Zynga drama is, to me, is even more an indication on how criminally wrong the FB ipo was; Zynga did the smart thing in IPOing first had the information about FBs worth would have been true - but they suffer tremendously based on how bad the ipo was...
The OMGPOP buy was a toss of 200MM on the speculation that FB was going to out goog the goog....
I am still surprised there really havent been any claims of criminality/litigation.
Kixeye may not have as bad a public reputation as Zynga but that "Racism at a gaming company" post ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4603611 ) sure did put them at the bottom of the barrel in my opinion.
Well good for them, that was the right thing to do. I hope the folks here that were attacking the victim get the news that the victim was not really fabricating the whole thing as they were implying.
