We have seen the teasers and more clues are coming. The last clue is that the supposedly found in Petville. According to FarmvilleFreak the pet likely be a dog and this has pretty much been confirmed.Now Petville is just one of the many games that Zynga has. Zynga appears to be trying hard at cross promotion of their products.
This is being doing in many ways as outlined in the examples below. However, I have some issues with the cross promotions that I will address.
- Hot Rod Tractors in Farmville for Mafia Players at a certain level
- Poker Players to meeting in Mafia Wars
- Invite your CafeWorld Friends to play Farmville and now
- The find out more about the Pets, you will need to go to PetVille.
Now I have no problem with the mixing of Petville, CafeWorld, FishVille and Farmville as I believe those are fine for a general audience but Mafia Wars and Zynga Poker are for a different audience.
Zynga should try and keep the games as open to people of all persuasion by providing flexible options that will not be offensive to beliefs. For example, there are no Pigs on the farm I manage.
Allow people to chose the games the love to play and promote the right games to the right people.
