Lesson from OMGPOP shut-down: Don’t get acquired by Zynga?

While I think most people here agree that Zynga is a shitty and creatively bankrupt company for these and other reasons, OMGPOP actually got an amazing deal.

$180 million is more than 99.9999% of startups ever make. That's a good thing.

Hopefully the founders of OMGPOP got rewarded nicely and have the opportunity to work on whatever they want now.

They probably have a lot more money to do OMGPOP2 now. Like how Google bought Dodgeball just to have the founder leave and create Foursquare.
