Dear Nimblebit, It's not just Zynga... - Imgur
Ottway Ducard stashed this in games
Stashed in: Zynga!, Microsoft, Pixar, Copying, Kinect
Geez, does EVERYONE in the gaming industry copy each other???
Apparently, just the venture capital-backed billion dollar casual gaming companies. :)
Pixar, Bungie, Valve. Yes, Pixar is not a gaming company, but I believe there are folks out there intending to create wholly original content.
Bungie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_Infinity

BTW, I don't understand the moniker "social" games. I'd wager for many, the wii, the Kinect, and whole gaming genres WOW, Halo via Xbox Live, Call of Duty are only ever played socially by the majority of is users.
A social game is any game played with others. So you're right, those are all social, too.
