Looks like we got mentioned.. if ever briefly (all it said was that MindArk attended a conference a couple years ago), and then goes on to talk about how 3D virtual universes suck compared to 2D ones.

The reality of it is.... there are a HELL of alot more active Farmville players than Entropia/Planet Calypso players and I'm betting MindArk has about 10000x more money invested in creating EU and probably only a fraction of the profits. Slam farmville all you want.... but their owner (Zynga) is prospering while the owner of Planet Calypso and EU is struggling to keep financials stable.
