I also feel the interest in Zynga's current games are waning. For games like farmville you would need many others who play it as well to continue to get better rewarded and advance. Many people who used to play no longer do. I think it is also very time consuming. People are running out of time to do things. As it is with all the new iphone and other games you can play in so many other devices  on the go people are turning their back on Zynga's facebook based games.

I think a big problem with Zynga's games is that they're very much passive. A lot of people I know who play words with friends simply forget to respond, whereas angry birds requires your active attention.

Or maybe it is a passing fad that is starting to die out.

I've never played a game a work (other than office politics, which I am terrible at playing). I've come close to falling asleep once or twice...but playing games? Nope.

Funny how some people make such obvious miscalculations, and then act like the consequences could have never been predicted.

TelecomFreq, It would be interesting to know how much time at work is wasted on games like this. Our cars are the next frontier here. At CES, many major automakers demonstrated more computers in cars - so AngryBirds on the go?

That is very likely, I know a guy who lost his job for playing a game all day at work (not farmville or any other Zynga game). for some reason this caught him off guard. I think he should have seen it coming.

Maybe the Farmville people all stopped cause they got fired for playing too much Farmville and posting it during the day in front of their boss.

I seriously doubt that I'm any demographic that Zynga is drooling over, but on the other hand, I NEVER see any Zynga games in my Facebook feed anymore.  Maybe once in a while a Words With Friends, but even that seems passe.

Just a short while ago, Farmville was EVERYWHERE.  There are a lot of lost sheep out there and they are called Zynga investors...
