Rick Aristotle Munarriz of The Motley Fool calls the acquisition an ugly precedent. "What about next week? What about next month?" OMGPOP came out of nowhere to top the list of Apple's most downloaded games, but it won't be the first company to do so. Will Zynga buy them out one by one? "Once again, Zynga is delaying the inevitable. It won't be able to snap up every flavor-of-the-month app that bubbles up to the top -- and bubble up they will." It also serves as a reminder that Zynga had acquired a number of developers in its short history, including Newtoy, the developers of Words With Friends. In fact, Zynga hasn't created a blockbuster game of their own in quite some time. fool.com
