Soon after the Zynga acquisition I opened the app and it asked me for a new/additional Facebook permission to have access to post on my wall, with no easy way to play my friends anymore if I said no. Could have something to do with it.
Yes! I really like the game but I nearly stopped playing because of that. It turns out you can accept it, then remove the App's wall posting privilege right away and it will still work. If that hadn't been the case, for me, Zynga would have paid for their aggressive strategy with the loss of a customer.
I agree, but I am not so bothered with that these days... you can set permissions within FB so that anything an app posts will only be seen by yourself.
I am not so motivated to set my permissions. I'll just play different games now.
Makes me glad I didn't link it to my facebook at all.
