Arrington vs. Shukla: Virtual Goods Controversy

Wow, only a couple minutes in and Shukla's already a fucking bitch. Unprofessional indeed insulting a person in the crowd so shamelessly. No class whatsoever.

Wow. This is extremely unprofessional. This alone is enough to make me boycott their service.

When a person like him runs mostly all their games on Facebook and Myspace. He is in no position to even Joke like that

I agree! Thank you! Byebye

=3 Why can't she just buy a windscreen with the money that people gave Zynga? Or does she have to buy that with Farmville Bucks or Favor Points?

Amen.

Zynga is a parasite period..as are all the other scammers.

Arrington's articles are loaded with emotionally-loaded lanuage, that thoroughly editorializes upon purportedly objective and factual reporting. I'm a frequent player of Facebook games (mostly of Zynga) and frequently cruise the offers just to see what's around -- but have never been compelled or tricked into any of them. Shukla's response (and later follow-up) was to the point, which another of Arrington's posts overtly denies. It seems like Arrington only hears what he wants to hear.

He was right on with video professor. The allegations against Farmville are pretty convincing since I'm related to someone who was duped. Arrington claims the farmville scams have been quietly removed (I can't verify this). My question to you, my friend, is how can you not see this? Why are you so angry? At least Arrington directs his anger to rip-off companies. You direct your own anger towards people. Just like the person responding with "shit, doubleshit, and bullshit".

@TheeUnlikely - I seriously seriously doubt that your friend was duped, unless they consider being held to a EULA without even having read it, being duped. Also, I'm not angry; you're reading too much into it. The person (Shukla) responded accurately and sensibly with "s/d-s/b-s."
