I never understand the logic behind acquire-and-shutdown process. Like Google's last decade of shopping and killing spree, not long ago Yahoo bought Astrid and shutdown million users. Are there any significant business reasoning I am missing?
Probably didn't understand that Draw Something isn't even a game when you think about it, so didn't really have a competitive angle and became tiresome quickly.
But there are many other explanations which (while not as likely in the opinions of many observers) would at very least create a large slice of "reasonable doubt" (and occasionally actually be true!).
