Zynga shutting down four games, OMGPOP site
OMGPOP games Cupcake Corner, Gem Rush, Pool World Champ and Snoops will come to a close on August 29; OMGPOP.com will officially cease to exist on September 30, 2013, three months after the studio's closure in June. OMGPOP was impacted by the same cuts that saw Zynga's headcount reduced by 18 percent.
Zynga notes: "This decision will not affect Draw Something, Draw Something 2 or Draw My Thing - you will be able to continue playing after OMGPOP.com has closed."
The social games giant is currently reinventing itself under the direction of new CEO Don Mattrick, former head of Microsoft's Xbox division.

Really?!!?!? This is a terrible decision. I use OMGPOP all the time and I know I'm NOT the only one. This new CEO has no idea what he's doing. I would understand removing the less played games but the WHOLE site? That's just idiotic. I understand that he's primarily doing it to keep the company afloat but to shut down what is making them revenue doesn't seem to make sense. Why not shut down all the crappy mobile games that NO ONE plays and have terrible ratings?

Diamonds OMGPOP was a good website RIP
I really don't understand why they don't just sell the domain and the licenses to the games. OMGPOP could still thrive under a new/better company.

..oh and it's not Dons fault, Zynga was going under before he jumped in anyway.
