Edit: Good news!

Disregard this:
Hey everyone, nobody probably knows me . I was SilverDiver Silver something OR MidnightOz(Probably not) on GoPets! I recently spoke to Erik, asking if there was a definite time he was gonna try to buy the rights back, he said no... Just a simple news flash for ya all!

FRESH NEWS:
I spoke to Erik again
Transcript:
Me: Hey Erik!
Me: I heard you were resigning from Zynga

Erik: Yes I did

Me: I was wondering if that means, that GoPets is gonna come back?
(Or something similiar)

Erik: Not immediately... but of course I do love GoPets and the GoPets style of games
Still have a left over dispute on the gopets.com URL

I'd be surprised if it ever happens. :/

Ditto to that. Still disappointing to hear though.

Boy am I behind. Wow I liked Super Poke Pets. I spent a lot of time decorating and collecting stuff in that game. People used to make some AMAZING artwork using the tiny items that you could buy.

I kind of left my pets on SPP when I stopped playing FB games. I guess I'll always think of them fondly. I liked my chicken, Betty! She was named after the Betty chicken in Animal Crossing, who ALWAYS stayed in my town. *love*

Boy. Why do all the pet games go away!?! *cries*

Well, since I talked to him, this does mean that GoPets will come back.

*excited*

Comment regarding Erik on that piece of news:

"Bethke was fired. He was a political machine, a hype man, not a manager, and his products reflected this fact. But in his defense, that is the type of people Zynga usually rewarded, it just happened that he got out-douched by someone else in the end."

Don't get your hopes up about the possibility of GoPets coming back. Erik was an awful owner who wouldn't let go of GoPets to someone else, that could of lead it to being more successful, as he was a selfish dofus.

I got an inkling of that feeling when GoPets moved headquarters. That decision seemed like a really bad idea to me. :/
