To add some context, OMGPOP dev Shay Pierce wrote a column[1] in Gamasutra, saying that he wasn't going to join Zynga because the company "views players as weak-minded cash cows". Business Insider than was contacted by an inside source saying he was a poor worker, which Shay disputed. [2]
The validity of those tweets aside, why would a CEO even bother engaging this? He's the head of an incredibly successful company and made millions with the help of some very talented staff.
Successful or not, why would anybody engage in this type of behavior? It's childish and I'm surprised he's not backing down from it on his twitter account. (Maybe I'm not surprised, per se. People can be asshats. I'm surprised nobody at Zynga has told him to cut the crap and enjoy his weekend.)
