Or it could just be you don't want to introduce more competition with already a solid brand and revenue, unless they are willing to pay.

This is a good point, and the most positive interpretation of Zynga's actions.

But I doubt one more competitor in the gaming industry would have a substantial impact on Zynga's long-term health. There are so many competitors already, many of whom create smash-out hits. Zynga does not anymore. OMGPOP's existence or non-existence won't change that.

agree completely but my point is two fold. first unless they were willing to pay the asking price, why would you do it. second you're better off having your opponents start as far back as possible unless they again make it worthwhile
