There are decorations that I would like to have but it is not worth the money. The basic functionality for the game remains and it is still fun (and cute). Zygna needs to be careful with the partnerships it makes because image is important. It is very easy to loose people's trust and hard to regain it. At the end of the day, it is just a game and anyone could get upset or scared and just stop playing it! I am perfectly happy playing without paying which may be a problem for Zynga.

In the case of faulty 3rd party advertisers, Zynga really should know better. They should be better monitoring who they accept offers from rather than going for the most money they can get out of it. At the same time though, I think there's a point at which it's the consumers fault. People need to learn to be careful on the internet and not sign up for everything that has a "free offer" without first reading the fine print. It's "Mafia Wars" not World.
