After 11 years of large success on Facebook,\u00a0FarmVille\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>has officially shut down on the social media website due to the discontinuation of Flash Player. However, development for\u00a0FarmVille<\/em>‘s mobile versions will continue.<\/p>\n

While Facebook began peaking in the late 2000s,\u00a0FarmVille<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>released in 2009, and shortly after became the most widely played game on the site with over 83 million monthly active users. At the time, though the farm simulator was so popular<\/a> among Facebook users at the time, many reviewers, video game designers, and critics gave\u00a0FarmVille\u00a0<\/em>a negative review for its mindless chores being so addictive.<\/p>\n

This type of mindless task completion is all too common among mobile games now, but back in 2009 when\u00a0the first\u00a0FarmVille\u00a0<\/em>game released, life-sim style games on mobile devices,\u00a0such as\u00a0Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp<\/em><\/a> or time-wasting puzzle games like\u00a0Candy Crush Saga<\/em>,\u00a0hadn’t yet become mainstream. Rather,\u00a0FarmVille\u00a0<\/em>would inspire ideas for other games like\u00a0Cafe Life<\/em> as well as two sequels to the original\u00a0farming simulation game.<\/p>\n

Eventually, however, mobile gaming would become more prominent as it could be played on-the-go, and\u00a0FarmVille\u00a0<\/em>would get ported to iOS devices. Publisher Zynga has\u00a0high hopes for\u00a0FarmVille 3\u00a0<\/em>on mobile devices<\/a>, which is currently in development. So despite the farming simulation game losing playability on Facebook and web browsers, fans of\u00a0FarmVille\u00a0<\/em>can still experience the mobile games on their phones.<\/p>\n

FarmVille<\/em>‘s closure on Facebook is due to Flash Player no longer being supported<\/a> on any major web browser. Adobe announced that it would end support for Flash Player back in 2017, and Microsoft began planning to remove it from the Windows OS entirely. Apple’s latest OS, Big Sur, also removes software compatibility for Flash Player.<\/p>\n

FarmVille 3\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is currently in development.<\/p>\n
