On the other hand, with Zynga's penchant for liberal "borrowing," this seems a bit hypocritical of them.
Totally. There are so many people out there ripping off things from Zynga. Hell, even municipalities like Jacksonville and TV shows like Smallville are trying to take advantage of the Zynga brand.
It's simply disgusting when a company tries to rip off another like this.

Your just being facetious and you know it.
This company is clearly trying to piggy back off of the success of the Ville game series, their art for the advert as shown in the article is clearly trying to imitate Zynga's art.
Although the other commenter does make a good point that it is rather hypocritical...

Yep, just take a look at the logo comparison in the scribd document - definitely no questions on if Zynga should be doing this or not (they should). It's one questionable-ethics company suing another questionable-ethics company, nothing to see here!
However, 3x the profits realised from the game? Seriously? That's kind of over the top.
Oh, and having just read into the actual document from Zynga they show a comparison of the Logo Kobojo is using for Pyramidville. There is no way this isn't intentionally trying to mislead people.
