Flop Failure Dotcom Zapak.com

Since of late, i have noticed that the online gaming company Zapak in India, is trying to find a solution for all its problems and most people will feel, this has been created by themself.
First they created a failure game website with a lousy design, very sad games (which they call most popular games), the site takes lots of time to open, 50% times does not work, can be hacked by even kids and also have download games, which no one downloads.
Later they started Zapak Mail which was popular till they did lot of TV advertisements and again, this email site flopped later. Then they started a semi nude porn site Zapak TV, which they told all media would be You Tube's competition in India hahaha. Now they have been trying to swim across the deep water they have fallen into, by buying small websites no one know, which again do not work (in geek language it suck). The download games which has failed miserably (http://www.watblog.com/2008/08/18/zapak’s-online-model-failing-new-focus-on-selling-discs/) are now being sold on CD's (like dvd and cd on the road) to make some money and there are similar state of all its websites.
No one comes to Zapak and the traffic has been falling (check in Alexa and Google Trends), Zapak mail is dying like Zapak and Zapak TV has shutdown. They have so many sites which is a way of fooling all people, showing they have many many product.
Recently I saw on their site, that they have Battleout which is another site to add to Zapak traffic and has stupid things on it and ofcourse like zapak has a very very bad design. I also read on the internet that they are starting a site called Zapak World which is going to offer a lot of games. I went to the site and found rubbish there and the site again does not work like all of their sites.
I think the site owner, the product people and the management are just fooling their rich daddy Anil Ambani of all his money, earning big salary and giving foolish products. I have heard from placement agencies that they offer very big salary but it is really stupid for Anil Ambani to give them money for all this.
A friends friend joined Zapak, coming from big bank and when i asked him what he do there, he told me that he does not know what to do in a full day and i see him always in party place with his friends. I think he is working as party manager there hahaha. He must be organize party for his boss and wipe the party floor to clean it also :-) lol
My question is if they knew it is going to fail, then why invest money into tie up for download games and so many other non relative websites they are making or is the idea to be seen as a person drowning and trying to catch a twig to survive, which is foolish. When you log on to the site, they will take you 100 pages and 500 advertisement to then show you the game to play with. How foolish it is again.
The answer to all is that they have a rich daddy Anil Ambani who seems to be not concerned about the failing idea and lots of money but is investing lots of money into a good idea but a stupid staff.
One friend from agency told me that Zapak spend 14 crore into advertising on everywhere. But
they have got bullshit from all and they know it is smelling same also.
I would have thrown all management out of window first, if it was my company and mine money for such non-performing people.
All who read about Zapak i would say, do not visit bullshit site at all and if you have then visit again and see how foolish they are.
They celebrate April fool day with each other, everyday i think.
