The "electronic-Games" business is taking a pounding now, for several reasons. It is hard to break into, fan base is fickle, inventiveness is very high cost, and Zenga is...well...silly. How many people will pay money for a virtual cow when there are angry birds to sling at pigs?
Right on the money. I also find it extremely stupid that people sit in front of a computer all dang day and feed virtual cows. This industry is one of the most pathetic avenues for individuals to waste money that I have seen in a long time. You might as well invest in those emails from "Zimbabwe" stating that you have a "long lost cousin who is a King and is going to give you $12M if you send them $1k".
