"God, this has got to be the world's lamest point'n'click"

Yeah.. but compare it to most privacy policies!

Fair enough: at least they're trying to add some usability to their privacy policy [1], but for Zynga that was a game designing underachievement. I actually felt a bit lectured there! :-)

Not entirely surprising really. Zynga makes no secret [1] of the fact that they don't actually design anything. They are very clear about the practice of copying [2] whatever is popular, slapping their own name onto it and peddling it off as their own.

And to top it all off, they then proceed to sue [3] the pants off of anyone trying to do the same.
