Because traditionally, the people I know playing Zynga games have felt embarrassed to admit they play games, which is silly.
Perhaps I've given the impression that I'm deeply passionate about Zynga becoming a success and for the world to unite under a flag of better gaming, but that's not what I'm after. I want to eliminate the stigmas of gaming, and as another poster said, expand the market.
That said, I'm bewildered by the anti-Zynga crowd here. No one forces people to play Farmville, and though I really hate the game, I'm not going to blame Zynga for people wasting their life away, just as I don't blame Blizzard for the people hooked on WoW. It's a choice people make.
