Comments on: A Closer Look at RockYou’s Zoo World http://www.insidesocialgames.com/2009/11/18/a-closer-look-at-rockyous-zoo-world/ Tracking Innovation at the Convergence of Games and Social Platforms Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:17:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: AJ Glasser http://www.insidesocialgames.com/2009/11/18/a-closer-look-at-rockyous-zoo-world/comment-page-2/#comment-115246 AJ Glasser Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:07:14 +0000 http://www.insidesocialgames.com/?p=8602#comment-115246 This review was written almost three years ago when the game first launched. Since that time, the game and the company have both evolved considerably to the point where gameplay descriptions and company strategy explanations may no longer be accurate or current -- however, at the time this piece was written, the information was accurate to the best of our knowledge. We do not simply delete old reviews just because the game changes. We also have no need to "curry favor" with developers as our publication is data-driven with metrics reported by Facebook.

Your review on Zoo World couldnt be further from the truth, this is nothing buy blatant promotion of another piece of crap Rock You application. Your site doesnt even mention that Rock You abandoned My Space, Rock You Pets and other applications and has to all intents and purposes abandoned Zoo World now too - You are publishing LIES to curry favour with developers, conning your members and people who come here to read reviews What is the point of your site when your reviews of social gaming are SO not accurate?

DEVELOPERS ARE MEAN SPIRITED AND HARASS PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT MISSING CASH, WILDLIFE POINTS, ANIMALS, PURCHASES, ETC THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS APPLICATION IT WOULD BE HARD TO SAY WHAT DOES WORK. THIS GAME IS GOING TO TANK JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER ROCK YOU APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE TANKED. ROCK YOU IS FAMOUS FOR ABANDONING INTERNET APPLICATIONS AND GAMES. FORUMS HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PLAYERS, REQUESTS FOR SUPPORT, REQUESTS TO HAVE MISSING ITEMS REPLACED. ROCK YOU APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE AVOIDED COMPLETELY. *WARNING * DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME, THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, MEMBERS ARE CHEATED OUT OF PURCHASES.
