Though most of you probably stopped playing the original FarmVille ages ago, if you want to get one last hit of nostalgia, today is officially the last day you can play the game on Facebook.

Zynga announced the decision earlier in September, warning the apparently non-zero number of FarmVille fans who still play the original game.
To be fair, FarmVille would’ve probably continued if it weren’t for the fact that the game runs on Flash and Adobe finally killed Flash this year.

Although FarmVille didn’t invent game mechanics like real-time loops or loot boxes, it did play a massive role in popularizing them for the mainstream.

Candy Crush Saga, Angry Birds, and all those other free-to-play games with infuriating in-app microtransactions all took a page from FarmVille’s playbook. That said, its success also changed the gaming landscape, inviting developers to create casual mobile and browser games that appealed to wider demographics.

At its peak, FarmVille had 32 million daily active users and a total of 85 million players, according to the New York Times.
By 2013, it had amassed $1 billion in total player purchases.

I never understood the appeal of these dumb games, it looks so boring. I believe it was quite popular on Facebook years ago.

I remember Farmville and their other popular game Mafia Wars. Farmville was such a terrible game. I didn't see how people liked this game. I know a bunch of people who dropped lots of money playing it, and tried to get me to play. But also I'm surprised Zynga still exists.
