I guess Zynga's version: "Draw Something (else)" didn't work out so well… Well that sucks, looks like Draw Something is going to the sh****er. I like some of Zynga's stuff, but they don't really focus on stability. Pretty much all of the "…with friends" apps crash at random on my iPad…

EDIT: Gonna grab this app before it is updated and ruined… lol

When it is updated again, they will force you to upgrade or the version that you do have won't work. That's how FV use to be when I used to play.
 
Draw Something was pretty buggy and lacked a lot of really cool features. Hopefully Zynga will make those improvements and give it that "with friends" quality.

Agree wholeheartedly. Draw Something is a fantastic concept yet in its current form it falls short of being engaging. More "with friends" qualities is exactly what it needs.

hell, draw something was just as buggy as *** with Friends. They belong together.
 
I haven't experienced any bugs in Words or Scramble with Friends. Sure, some people are bound to be put off by the "freemium" model, but they still provide a better experience than Drawsomething does currently.
 
Zynga sucks, what else is new

Things I learned from Draw Something
- Fun but not enough words
- Half my friends can't draw.
- I can't draw either
- After this came out, nobody wants to play Scramble W/ Friends anymore

This was pretty cool

not that everyone else hasn't said it... but this sucks!

Zynga ruins everything they touch... they either do bad copies of decent games, or buy decent companies and zyngan-ize them...

zynganize:
adj. 1. Destroy all user functionality and add tons of bugs. 2. Find ways to charge you money if you don't spam all of your friends... 3. Ruin the social features of a product with greed. 4. Find ways to make you pay money by changing the game to almost force you to before it is useless.

It was a brand new app... and it's already gotten a decent update. I don't know how you can't find the game engaging? It works like all the "with friends" app and is turn based. Aside from it recycling clues too often... whats wrong with it?

Oh wait, you haven't played it have you?

Like the new AOL app. Man, I wish I read the reviews before updating. I had to ditch it and get IM+ since I don't feel like "pirating" the old AIM from some jailbreak app (even though it's free).

This is why I have 35 updates pending.

Well this will be my last drawing then:D

Take the original quote

And break it into three quotes
  • creating games around the ethos of giving people a place to play.
  • creating games around the ethos of giving people a place to meet.
  • creating games around the ethos of giving people a place to make friends.
Learn to use a list before you criticise.

I quite realize that that's what they meant, but English grammar doesn't quite work that way. If I say, "I want to break, beat, cook and eat some eggs", that does not mean

  • I want to break
  • I want to beat
  • I want to cook
  • I want to eat some eggs

No, in the construction of a list of verbs that can all take objects, when an object is applied to the last one, it is implied that the object applies to the preceding verbs, as well. While it's certainly true that this rule isn't always obeyed, it doesn't change the fact that it is the proper way to construct such a list. Thus, the proper interpretation of what I said would be:

  • I want to break some eggs
  • I want to beat some eggs
  • I want to cook some eggs
  • I want to eat some eggs

And the proper interpretation of what they said would be:

  • creating games around the ethos of giving people a place to play friends.
  • creating games around the ethos of giving people a place to meet friends.
  • creating games around the ethos of giving people a place to make friends.

If they had wanted to properly construct their statement without breaking that sentence into three separate sentences, all they needed to do was add objects for the other two verbs, like this:

Creating games around the ethos of giving people a place to play games, meet new people and make friends.

Really, there are plenty of means by which that sentence could have been constructed properly and conveyed exactly what they were trying to convey. Were this an off the cuff comment from some exec being stopped by a reporter, I'd have a bit more sympathy. But this is a press release posted on their website. They need to have someone who actually knows a bit about English read their press releases before they post them.

Try to understand what my criticism is before you try to tear it down.
