Anonymous takes aim at Zynga

4.5

Anonymous has threatened to target Zynga for its "outrageous treatment of employees and actions against many developers" by releasing what it says is confidential information about the casual gaming firm on November 5.

In a post on the hacker collective's official news channel, Anonymous claims to be in possession of Zynga documents detailing plans to lay off 800 employees in a move that would signal the "end of the US game market as we know it".
Anonymous has also released an encrypted data file which it says contains copies of games taken from Zynga's servers. It intends to release the key on Guy Fawkes night unless Zynga ceases its alleged plans to make further layoffs.

Last week Zynga boss Mark Pincus issued a statement confirming the closure of its Boston studio and layoffs affecting hundreds.

VisionaryMGMT Sometimes, I really just think Anonymous needs to chill. Yes, I see why they're doing this. Scumbag company is doing a scumbag thing, but It's not Anonymous's problem or responsibility to make sure that something happens to Zynga.

Anonymous as a collective, is in it for the good of the people. And Zynga is mistreating their workers and employes, so Anonymous is stepping in.

I would normally say ye to this, but i dont no more. Yes they're doing a good thing, but the power of anonymous went down greatly. I think they should actually wait til their collective grows again.

I've never liked Zynga, everything they do is just to get money through games not worth paying for.
