They say all press is good press, but I can’t see how anyone can spin this news. With all the reports (some initiated by Zynga through developer interviews) about how calculating and psychological they are in terms of making their games addictive, Zynga should hope this story goes away.
As for the defendant, she has pleaded to second-degree murder and could face life in prison. Here’s hoping she goes away in jail for good. The fact that she is blaming the game for her horrible act only proves how purely evil she is.
