Every time you’re playing a game you enjoy on mobile and it asks you to spend some money to overcome an obstacle, that’s FarmVille. There’s FarmVille 2: Country Escape, FarmVille 2: Tropic Escape, and hundreds of knockoffs on the iOS and Google Play store.įarmVille is gone, but its legacy lives on. The original game may be dead, but its successors and spin-offs are alive and well on the mobile market.
It made Zynga a major player in the mobile gaming market and in 2013, just four years after its launch, fans had made $1 billion in in-app purchases. If you never played it, FarmVille was basically Harvest Moon played on Facebook with long wait times unless you paid for items that sped up the process. It’s the end of an era and one of the biggest casualties is FarmVille, a game that defined Facebook gaming and kicked off a trend of pay-to-win and microtransactions in online games. That lack of support will create an untenable security risk for Flash, so most major browsers and websites are dropping it.
Without Flash, FarmVille can’t function and Adobe has said it will stop updating and supporting flash on December 31, 2020. FarmVille will therefore be directly affected as a result of this.” “As previously stated, Adobe will stop distributing and updating Flash Player for all web browsers, and Facebook will stop supporting Flash games on the platform completely after December 31st, 2020. “Following an incredible 11 years since its initial launch back in 2009, we are officially announcing the closure of the original FarmVille game on Facebook,” Zynga said in a press release.
