Social games news roundup: Kixeye fires its "bad egg" employees, Zynga shares plummet (again) and GREE brings more devs on board

Four fired from Kixeye following racism allegations — When a former Kixeye contractor wrote a blog post stating his former co-workers engaged in racist behavior went viral this week, CEO Will Harbin was quick to publicly respond, claiming he was looking into the allegations. In a personal follow-up post, Harbin wrote  he interviewed members of the development team and discovered “examples of embarrassing behavior that I find inappropriate for KIXEYE … as a result, I immediately terminated the manager of the team in question and then three other employees who violated company standards as well.”
