Idle Games: “Zynga is a black and white television”

The upcoming Idle Worship, the debut release from Idle Games, may still be in closed beta, but that hasn’t stopped the creators from claiming that it will be a marked imrpovement over the types of games released by Zynga.

During a Q&A session at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, Idle Games co-founder Jeffrey Hyman explained that the studio has put its focus on creating a quality game. Idle Worship has been in development for two years with a team of 50 working on it. And he says that that focus will help differentiate the game from the likes of Zynga.

“Zynga is an analytics company masking as a game company,” he explained. “We’re an entertainment and games company. Zynga is a black and white television. Everyone wants it until the color television comes out. That’s us. We care about the entertainment experience.”

Idle Worship is currently in closed beta on Facebook.
