FarmVille Once Took Over Facebook. Now Everything Is FarmVille. (Published 2020)

The game, a phenomenon a decade ago, shut down on New Year’s Eve. But its legacy — for better and for worse — carries beyond gaming.

FarmVille (2009), the simple but addictive Facebook game that took over social media feeds a decade ago, has shut down on Dec 31, 2020.

At its peak, the game had 32 million daily active users and nearly 85 million players over all.

How the mighty has fallen like MySpace, AOL, Compaq and yahoo.

Wow, FarmVille closed? 2020 sure went out with a roar, I guess.

That used to be all the rages with the Facebookers. (I was not, and I never played it, that I know of.)

I think it closing is tied to Flash being EOLed.

Should've kept farmville and gotten rid of facebook

But you couldn't post political memes, and argue about politics with friends and family on Farmville.

Out of the stuff that we lost because Flash died, Homestar Runner will be the one I'll miss the most!
