No, it wasn't going to last forever, nor would it be able to. All these games except Angry Birds are fads.
Angry birds have one advantage over all other games - people play it while they're on the toilet. And since everybody has to use a toilet at some point of the day, those birds will be flying like **** to the toilet.
And yes, i also hate Zynga and i dont rly know why. Hated them since they started annoying me with all the games on facebook. Also why i hate them is that couple of years ago a really smart and fun game called "Drop7" came out. It was nice and free, until Zynga bought it, put the price of it to more than 2$ and left it as it was without any updates. And now it just sits there in Apple and google play store, not updated to match bigger screens (its was made for the iPhone 1 and it still has the same resolution) and its really sad all together. Whatever they touch becomes poop.
I'll be happy when Zynga isn't a player in the games industry anymore. So many bad practices and ripped-off games, undelivered promises and a crappy attitude. Their comeuppance is long overdue.
Zynga always made me uncomfortable. I don't really know why. They just seem sleazy. Maybe it's because of all the IAP's. Or the fact that they I feel like the lucked out with some early hits and yet never really understood out to make great games.
I am kind of glad to see them go.

I think everybody except for Zynga saw this coming way before they even acquired OMGPOP
6) Facebook and Twitter (I don't use neither, btw)
Wait.. am I missing something here? Perhaps I'm ignorant or didn't read this properly but the purpose of acquiring the company was just to shut it down?
Wow how would you like to be one of their shareholders?
what doesn't make sense is the ones that don't crash, like Angry Birds. Or is that also on its way down?
