    Am I the only one that thinks this is a legitimate? I could see myself thinking anything suffixed with "with friends" that is an app as part of the Zynga range.

    Granted that fact that it isn't a game could be enough to remove some of the confusion.

    This is silly. "Hey, Zynga, stop using 'Wars'. Thanks, Ninendo"

    Two words I think pretty much summarize my general sentiment towards Zynga.

    "Fuck you"

    I do associate "crap with friends" with Zynga, so I'd rebrand, not because of the letter, but because they have poisoned the general "with friends" phrase.
