Yes. You choose who you work for (before the acquisition and after), and stock options are a an understood risk. Let's not pretend otherwise.

Given Zynga's history they likely won't vest anyway (clawbacks).

Look how well that worked out for OMGPOPs CEO who came out in public making horrible statements of some of his employees.

He deserved to be acquired by Pinchs and it showed his true colors.

The day OMGPOP was acquired, I deleted draw something.

I've played games my whole life, computer games are what got me into computers as my career, but I have never played a Zynga game and never will.

I boycott everything the company does as a personal preference.

I don't think all the employees are bad, but anyone who is blatantly working to do Pincus' theft of others' work certainly KNOW they are doing it and that's pretty shitty.

Those vesting options are going to be worthless. Sorry.
