Zuma

edit

There was also an easer egg in Zuma: if you move a few times over all buttons in the main menu, a UFO will appear. I saw someone doing this. Probably someone else could give a better description, so I didn't add it myself to the page. --Bernard François 07:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

removed easter eggs section

edit

Wikipedia is not for walkthoughs and easter eggs, so I removed this section. See Wp:not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information point 4. --Xyzzyplugh 16:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Multi player games

edit

I think it should be mention that early this year Pop Cap removed their multiplayer games.ShadowWriter 17:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Autobiographical?

edit

The main body of this article sounds like it was written by a PopCap employee.

Should we remove Psychobabble and WordStalk?

edit

PopCap has removed its multiplayer games and unsupport some old games. I think we should remove 2 titles from main page, aren't we? Hippy deluxe 06:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

advertisement?

edit

i agree, this article reads too much like an advertisement against wikipedia guidelines, words like "premium game developer" are not neutral someone should edit the marketing talk out of it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.53.88.129 (talk) 08:49, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notability

edit

I've tagged the article with a notability concern because the only independent references provided come from a single (forum-based) source. Interested contributors could review WP:N and see if they can improve this. Marasmusine (talk) 11:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Really? Notability concerns for PopCap games? They sold to EA for a billion dollars. That's a notable company. FerociousFennec (talk) 18:57, 2 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Controversy and lawsuit over alleged plagiarism

edit

I have not written much in Wikipedia, but I think this is notable enough for inclusion: PopCap has been accused of copying some of its games from old or obscure puzzle games. One example reference is here: [1]. Could someone more knowledgeable on writing about potentially legally-entangled issue take on this topic? Thanks.

That's not copyright violation. Taking ideas and concepts from old games and using them as the foundation for new, different games is a innovation, not theft. FerociousFennec (talk) 18:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sprout?

edit

The history section of the article says "The company expanded in 2005 with the acquisition of Sprout Games, a Seattle-based casual games developer", but then says "The Sprout team subsequently moved to Seattle". This is confusing. Were Sprout based in Seattle at the time of their acquisition, or did they move there afterwards? And if they did relocate, where were they from originally? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.7.69 (talk) 14:44, 28 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Developer Framework

edit

PopCap is taking down the PopCap framework. http://developer.popcap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5829 External links are invalidated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.131.121.65 (talk) 22:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

The site is taken down, so... 197.87.111.251 (talk) 08:16, 1 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hoopy Entertainment

edit

I was wondering if the history should also mention Hoopy Entertainment [2]. Govvy (talk) 14:13, 27 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Still an Advertisement

edit

The "Games" section (should be called "Typer Shark!" section) is a blatant advertisement. The significance of this game to PopCap isn't clear. The "history" section is probably a better place to spell what their big titles are, when they came out and how they were important (awards, reception, sales, etc). These games are probably going to be Bejeweled and Plants vs Zombies (which the article doesn't even mention). The List of PopCap games needs a home, but I am debating otherwise scrapping the Games section and filling out the history a bit. <> Alt lys er svunnet hen (talk) 19:58, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
