To be fair, people get bored of mobile apps, in general, pretty easily. I remember playing Draw Something constantly for a few weeks then I eventually stopped playing because it got old pretty fast. I don't think Zynga is the reason why this is happening.

Nothing in the title or article implies that the Zynga acquisition caused the decline.
The article did say that Zynga added "Draw Ads" like Pepsi and Doritos, which, if it's done in Zynga's typical ham-handed fashion, could be a big turn-off.
Depends on how strict your definition of "implies" is.

I think the majority of us agree the title strongly suggests so.

The title makes it sounds like the user decline is related to the Zynga acquisition.
What's important is that the relation is being discussed. Is it related? Is it not?

We aren't asking these questions if Draw Something added 5 million users since the Zynga purchase. In fact, that would be expected.
