Last week, I blogged about the downside of ending (sun-setting) a social game (The Risks of Sun-setting…). Today, I saw news that players have filed a class action suit against Google for their decision to kill SuperPoke (Social Game Players Sue Google). I am not a lawyer but my understanding is the lawsuit won’t go anywhere but it does show the increasing “annoyance” players have with sun-setting and the bad press it can generate.

I am GM of Chumba at VGW, where I lead the Chumba Casino team. Previously, I was Director of StarsPlay, the social gaming vertical for the Stars Group. I was also Sr Dir at Zynga's social casino (including Hit It Rich! slots, Zynga Poker and our mobile games), where I led VIP CRM efforts and arranged licensing deals. I have been a central part of the senior management team (CCO, GM and CGO) at three exits (Merscom/Playdom, Playdom/Disney and Spooky Cool/Zynga) worth over $700 million.
